Can I rely on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to resolve my problem?Is the result obtained definitive or can it change over time? I like my job but according to my psychological profile it does not suit me. Do I have to change it?

In an increasingly competitive working world, where there are more candidates than positions available and where the pressure to get results has never been higher, mistakes are no longer allowed. In fact, for both employers seeking a rare gem and candidates searching for their dream job, making a mistake in their recruitment decision or in their career orientation could turn out to be disastrous. What if the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) could help to reduce this risk?

With almost two million documented users each year, the MBTI is the most popular psychological test in the world. It takes the form of a simple questionnaire consisting of 88 questions and aims to identify an individual’s preferred way of operating. Once the form has been filled out, participants are assigned a psychological profile amongst the 16 set out by the MBTI, each one corresponding to a different way of seeing the world and facing daily events.

Many people take this test through simple curiosity, whether they want to test the accuracy of its judgement or simply get to know themselves better. But far from being limited to a private matter, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is also regularly used in a professional context: recruiters who cannot decide between two candidates, managers who wants to know how to improve their leadership, employees at a crossroads who are hesitant to throw themselves into being self-employed, or future students who are worried about following the wrong path. These are very different individuals but are united by one point: they are all potential users of the MBTI. But what is so particular about what it offers? This guide will enable you to discover all the secrets of this internationally-recognised test.
