The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a questionnaire developed by Isabel Myers-Briggs. It is designed to help individuals identify and understand how they absorb information and make descisions, the patterns of perception and judgement, as seen in normal healthy behavior. The MBTI consists of eight preferences that are organized into four pairs of opposites.<\/span><\/p>\n
