The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a powerful tool that enables us to understand how we perceive the world. As practitioners, we use MBTI extensively in:

• One to one coaching to help personal development
• Team development – to improve communication and collaboration
• Conflict resolution – by appreciating and working with different styles
• Problem solving – using all the types
• Creativity – getting the best out of Six Thinking Hats®

MBTI results identify valuable differences between people and help individual to identify their own behaviour preferences. This information enhances understanding of individuals motivations, natural strengths and potential areas for growth. It can also help individuals help appreciate people who differ from them.

An individual's MBTI preferences can include:

Characteristics of their type	Preferred learning style
How others may see them	Problem solving approach
Potential areas for growth	Preferred work environments
Leadership style	Contributions to the organisation
Contribution to team	Strengths in influencing
