Because administration of the instrument 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 the MBTI Form M and Form Q assessments with an Australia sample. To that end, it examines the reliability of the the MBTI Form Mand Form Q assessments, reports on type distribution in a sample of Australian participants, and provides comparisons with the U.S. National Representative Sample (NRS) to examine similarities and differences between the groups.  \nTHE MBTI® ASSESSMENT  \nThe MBTI assessment uses a typology composed of four pairs of opposite preferences, called dichotomies:  \n• Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)—where you focus your attention and get energy  \n• Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)—how you take in information  \n• Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)—how you make decisions  \n• Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)—how you deal with the outer world  \nThe MBTI assessment combines an individual’s four preferences—one preference from each dichotomy, denoted by its letter—to yield one of the 16 possible personality types (e.g. , ESTJ, INFP, etc.) . Each type is equally valuable, and an individual inherently belongs to one of the 16 types. This model differentiates the MBTI assessment from most other personality instruments, which typically assess personality traits. Traitbased instruments measure how much ofa certain characteristic people possess. Unlike the MBTI assessment,  \nthose instruments usually consider one “end” of a trait to be more positive and the other to be more negative.  \nAUSTRALIA SAMPLE  \nHistorically, the MBTI assessment has been administered in Australia using North American English. This project followed that approach, administering the Form M and Form Q assessments as part of a larger research version of the assessment in North American English. The sample was obtained using a market research firmin Australia, and was targeted to represent the population of Australia based on several key demographic items, discussed next.  \nSample Description  \nThis sample is composed of 510 individuals who each completed the global research version of the MBTI assessment, which includes 230 MBTI items and contains the current commercial versions of the MBTI assessment (the Form M, Form Q, and European Step I™ and Step II™ assessments), in North American English. The sample includes 50% women and 50% men. Respondents’ ages ranged from 15 to 84 years (mean = 44.4, SD = 16.4); 66% were employed full-time or part-time, 7% were students, 17% were retired, and 9% were either not working for income or did not provide their current employment status. Of those who were employed and reported their general line of work, 8% were working in sales and related occupations; 7% in office and administrative support; 6% in education, training, and library occupations; 5% in business and financial operations; and the remainder in various fields. Of those who were employed and reported organizational level, 46% were nonsupervisory, 19% supervisory, 17% management, 8% entry level, 5% top executive, and 4% executive. All respondents reported their country of residence as Australia.
