The technical brief summarizes the measurement properties of Hebrew translations of the MBTI Global Step I and Step II assessments for readers in Israel. It reports MBTI type and preference distributions for a Hebrew convenience sample completing the global research version in Hebrew, and compares findings to the global sample. It further evaluates reliability and validity of the Hebrew versions through analyses including preference pair relationships, intercorrelations, factor analysis, and facet-level results.

Because administration of the assessment outside the United States is growing rapidly, new translations are continually being developed for use in specific regions. This technical brief summarizes the measurement properties of translations ofthe MBTI Global Step I™ and Step II™ assessments developed for areas where Hebrew is read and understood. To that end, it reports on type and preference distributions in a sample of people in Israel who completed the global research version (GRV) of the MBTI assessment in Hebrew (i.e., the Hebrew sample) and explores similarities and differences between the Hebrew sample and the global sample. Additionally, this technical brief examines the reliability and validity of the Hebrew translations ofthe MBTI Global Step I and Step II assessments. For more information on the global sample and construction and translation of the global assessments, see chapter 7 of the MBTI® Manual for the Global Step I™ and Step II™ Assessments (Myers, McCaulley, Quenk, & Hammer, 2018). Israel (Hebrew) Technical Brief for the MBTI® Global Step I ™ and Step II ™ Assessments | 1 THE MBTI® MODEL The MBTI assessment measures a typology composed of four pairs of opposite preferences, or preference pairs: • Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)—how individuals direct and receive energy • Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)—how individuals take in information • Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)—how individuals decide and come to conclusions • Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)—how individuals approach the outside world The MBTI assessment combines an individual’s four preferences—one preference from each preference pair, denoted by its letter—to yield one of 16 possible personality types (e.g., ESTJ, INFP) . Each type is equally valuable, and an individual inherently sorts into one of the 16 types. This model differentiates the MBTI assessment from most other personality instruments, which typically assess personality traits. Trait-based instruments measure how much of a certain trait a person possesses. Unlike the MBTI assessment, those instruments usually consider one end of a scale to signify positive characteristics and the other to signify negative characteristics. DESCRIPTION OF THE HEBREW SAMPLE Following the translation of the MBTI GRV into Hebrew, a sample of participants was obtained through the Hebrew distributor, Levy Consulting. It is important to note that this Hebrew sample is not representative; ra
