Developed from the work of psychologist Carl Jung, the MBTI<\/strong> (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) method<\/strong> is a psychological tool designed to help us better understand our natural preferences in terms of perception, decision-making and interaction. Created in the 1940s by Isabel Brigg Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs, this method identifies individuals in 16 distinct personality types<\/strong>. Now widely used in the corporate world, it enables us to better understand the strengths and motivations of our employees, thus promoting more humane and effective management. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” header_2_line_height=”2rem” header_3_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” header_3_line_height=”2rem” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Man deserves to care about himself, because he carries in his soul the seeds of his future.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” text_line_height=”2rem” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The <\/span>MBTI method<\/b>\u00ae<\/i><\/b> (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is a psychological typology tool. The <\/span>type theory<\/b> refers to the psychological character types of individuals, with the aim of developing a classification of different personality canons.<\/span><\/p>\nTo understand how the MBTI works, we need to go back to the original work of Carl Jung. The eminent psychiatrist is known as the founder of analytical psychology, which emphasizes the importance of the individual and his or her personal development. <\/span><\/p>\nIn 1921, Jung published his book Types psychologiques<\/em>, in which he proposed that differences in human behavior could be explained by innate mental preferences. <\/span>innate mental preferences<\/b>. Each individual has a <\/span>psychological style<\/b>which influences our behavior and perception of the world.<\/span><\/p>\nTo determine a subject’s psychological style, Jung developed a schematic personality structure based on <\/span>four psychic functions<\/b> which everyone possesses to varying degrees: sensation (S), intuition (N), thought (T) and feeling (F).<\/span><\/p>\nThese main psychological functions are divided into two groups:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- The <\/span>perception functions<\/b> They refer to the way in which information is collected, or how a person gathers information about the outside world. According to Jung, the modes of perception are sensation (S) and intuition (N). <\/span><\/li>\n
- Judgment functions<\/b>: these correspond to the way in which a person evaluates and interprets this information. According to Jung, the modes of judgment are thought (T) and feeling (F). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These four mental functions or processes are then “oriented” by opposing but complementary energies: introversion (I) and extraversion (E). Extroverts <\/span>introverts “direct a flow of personal energy outwards, towards the social environment”.<\/span><\/i> and introverts <\/span>“direct a flow of personal energy inward, focused on internal factors”<\/span><\/i> (Walker, 2021, p. 160).<\/span><\/p>\nIt is the combination of the main functions with the energy orientations that leads to the eight cognitive functions<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Introverted intuition (Ni);<\/span><\/li>\n
- Extroverted intuition (Ne);<\/span><\/li>\n
- Introverted sensation (Si);<\/span><\/li>\n
- The extroverted sensation (Se);<\/span><\/li>\n
- Introverted thinking (Ti);<\/span><\/li>\n
- Extroverted thinking (Te);<\/span><\/li>\n
- Introverted feeling (Fi);<\/span><\/li>\n
- The extrovert feeling (Fe);<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While Jung identifies eight psychological types, combining an attitude and a function, MBTI focuses its expertise on four pairs of preferences (E\/I, S\/N, T\/F, J\/P), to give sixteen psychological types (such as INFJ, ESTP, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”sommaire-2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” header_3_line_height=”2rem” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The MBTI psychological assessment tool was designed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Cook Briggs in the 1940s, based on the theories of Carl Jung. This is a <\/span>personality questionnaire<\/b> in the form of a four-dimensional model, enabling precise identification of the differences between individuals, as well as the underlying reasons for their behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
People are categorized according to 16 personalities, each with specific characteristics:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- MBTI-ISTJ<\/strong> personality profile: naturally calm, withdrawn person. Prefers Introversion (I), Sensation (S), Thinking (T) and Judgment (J). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n\n- MBTI-ISTP<\/strong> personality profile: naturally calm person, who can nevertheless take action very quickly and intensely. Prefers Introversion (I), Sensation (S), Thinking (T) and Perception (P). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n\n- The MBTI-ESTP<\/strong> personality profile: a person who naturally and easily comes into contact with others. Highly active, taking action quickly and intensely. Naturally inclined towards Extraversion (E), Sensation (S), Thinking (T) and Perception (P). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

MBTI method and other personality tests: why is this model so popular?<\/b><\/h3>\n

If the <\/span>MBTI personality test<\/b> personality test has been so successful compared to other psychometric tools, it is undoubtedly for the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- It’s simple, accessible and personalized: the MBTI model uses clear, non-technical language and mobilizes easily identifiable personality types, giving the impression of a personalized portrait (INFJ, ESTP, etc.).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
2. It’s a positive approach to personality: unlike other tests (such as the Big Five), the MBTI avoids value judgments.<\/span><\/p>\n3. The MBTI is a structured model, combining rigor and intuition to perfection: with its four-dimensional structure, it’s easy to remember, yet rich enough to produce 16 distinct types.<\/span><\/p>\n4. The MBTI is being massively adopted by companies, particularly in HR departments, and for all matters relating to management and training. It is considered practical, non-intrusive and motivating for employees. In other words, the MBTI is “corporate friendly”! <\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”sommaire-3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” header_2_line_height=”2rem” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The MBTI is an <\/span>interpersonal understanding tool<\/b>This is a highly appreciated strategic lever for companies. It can be used to address managerial, human resources and operational issues. <\/span><\/p>\nThanks to the MBTI, managers can better understand the members of their team: the MBTI helps to put words to behaviours and to decode interpersonal differences. <\/span>interpersonal differences<\/b> that might otherwise generate tension.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” header_2_line_height=”2rem” header_3_line_height=”2rem” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The MBTI does not impose a single way of managing, but enables each leader to improve his or her <\/span>situational leadership<\/b>. The team leader gets to know himself better, identifies his areas of effort and adopts a more flexible style (depending on the situation and the personalities involved).<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”sommaire-4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” header_2_line_height=”2rem” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
