Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

• We all observe differently, but behavior based
  on perception can be predictable.
• Based on the work of Carl Jung
• Way to sort, not to measure
• Used internationally
• Reliability and Validity

MBTI

• Who I am and who are they?
• Implications of MBTI in teaching and learning

8
MBTI Theory

• Seemingly random human behavior is actually quite
  orderly and consistent
• Due to basic instinct and common sense we prefer
  to use our perception and judgement in different
  ways

9
More MBTI Theory

• Perception all the ways of becoming aware of
  things, people, happenings, ideas
• Judgement all the ways of coming to conclusions
  about what has been observed
• My assumption is that these are critical
  variables in teaching and learning
