Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)
The MBTI® is the most widely used personality assessment instrument in the world, with a proven record based on over 70 years of research and development. It gives you access to your psychological type, or how you process information. From a career standpoint, it provides insight into your own strengths, areas for development and career and work environments you might enjoy.

It measures your interests in a broad range of occupations, work activities, leisure activities, and academic subjects, then compares your results with those of people successfully employed in those occupations.
