What Is The Myers-Briggs’ 16 Personality Tool?

Isabel Briggs Myers first developed the MBTI tool in the 1940s, but with continuous research and development of information about different psychological types, the publication first appeared in 1962. With decades of research and results, this tool has proven to be valid in providing people with results that can aid in identifying who they are. Most educational systems use the test to introduce psychology and begin by helping people understand themselves better.

To find out your personality type, take the test to see which character you most identify with. Each personality has similar aspects that might correlate with another personality. You might find that yourself or a character could be categorized into multiple categories. This is because of similarities and the way we view characters can differ between each person.
