About The MBTI and Strong Interest Inventory:
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment is the best-known and most trusted personality assessment tool available today. Two million assessments are administered annually, including to employees of most Fortune 500 companies.
MBTI History
The Myers-Briggs® assessment has its roots in Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type. Katharine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, developed Jung’s theory and the first forms of the instrument, sharing a vision “to enable individuals to grow through an understanding and appreciation of individual differences in healthy personality and to enhance harmony and productivity among diverse groups.”
In developing their assessment, Briggs and Myers sought to sort personality traits and differences into three pairs of personality traits explicitly described in Jung’s writing, along with a fourth pair made explicit by Briggs and Myers. These four opposite pairs are
MBTI Personality Traits in opposite pairs:
1) Extroversion (E) and Introversion (I).
Extraversion (E) includes people who direct their energy primarily outward toward other people and events.
Introversion (I) includes people who direct their energy primarily inward toward their inner environment, thoughts, and experiences
2) Sensing (S) and Intuition (N).
Sensing (S) includes people who take in information primarily through the five senses.
Intuition (N) includes people who take in information primarily through hunches and impressions and are more interested in future possibilities.
3) Thinking (T) and Feeling (F)
Thinking (T) includes people who make decisions primarily based on logic and objectivity.
Feeling (F) includes people who make decisions primarily based on personal values and the effects their decisions will have on others.
4) Judging (J) and Perceiving (P):
Judging (J) includes people who prefer structure, plans, and achieving closure quickly.
Perceiving (P) includes those who prefer flexibility, spontaneity, and keeping their options open.
Newly revised Strong Interest Inventory Assessment:
The Strong Interest Inventory® (Strong) assessment measures career and leisure interests. It is based on the work of E. K. Strong Jr., who originally published his inventory on the measurement of interests in 1927. The assessment is often used to aid people in making educational and career decisions.
The Strong assessment measures interests in four main categories of scales:
1) General Occupational Themes (GOT’s)
GOTs measure basic categories of occupational interests—Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC)—based on John Holland’s theory (Holland, 1959).
2) Basic Interest Scales (BIS’s)
BIS’s measure clusters of interest related to the GOT’s in areas such as Athletics, Science, Performing Arts, and Sales.
3) Personal Style Scales (PSS’s)
PSS’s include Work Style, Learning Environment, Leadership Style, Risk Taking, and Team Orientation and measure preferences for and comfort levels with styles of living and working.
4) Occupational Scales (OS’s)
OS’s (122 for men, 122 for women) measure the extent to which a person’s interests are similar to the interests of people of the same gender working in 122 diverse occupations, such as Accounting, Corporate Training, Biology and Mechanical Engineering.
