The report applies your results on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument. The MBTI instrument is based on the theory of personality types described by Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs. This theory states that many of the valuable differences between people are a result of natural preferences that everyone has for different ways of perceiving, or taking in information, and for different ways of judging, or making decisions. If these natural differences can be understood and appreciated, working relationships can be improved. Specifically, this report will help you 􀀁 Better understand how you communicate with each other 􀀁 Identify possible sources of misunderstanding 􀀁 Resolve or avoid communication conflicts 􀀁 Build on your combined strengths to develop a more productive working relationship To make the most of this report, you should have already had an interpretation of the MyersBriggs™ instrument by a qualified practitioner. You should also have verified your best-fit type. So that you both have the same information, an identical report has been prepared for each of you. Thus this report contains not only your MBTI preferences but also those of your colleague. Please respect your colleague’s right to confidentiality. Although you may decide to share your own type with others, never reveal your colleague’s type to anyone. Only he or she can decide to whom and under what conditions to disclose that information. This report, based on years of experience and research with the MBTI instrument, contains the following sections: 􀀁 The MBTI Dichotomies 􀀁 Your MBTI Type at Work 􀀁 Communication Style 􀀁 Information Gathering 􀀁 Decision Making 􀀁 Project Management 􀀁 Next Steps 􀀁 Further Reading MBTI WORK STYLES REPORT JANE SAMPLE / JOHN SAMPLE August 15, 2011 PAGE 3 OF 14 | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | THE MBTI DICHOTOMIES The MBTI instrument contains four dichotomies, and each dichotomy has two choices, as shown by the letters below (E or I, S or N, T or F, and J or P).
