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 a New Zealand sample. To that end, it examines the reliability of the the MBTI Form M and Form Q assessments, reports on type distribution in a sample of New Zealander 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.  \nNEW ZEALAND SAMPLE  \nHistorically, the MBTI assessment has been administered in New Zealand using North American English. A sample of New Zealander respondents who completed the MBTI Form Q assessment was obtained for this study. It is important to note that this New Zealand sample is not a representative sample; rather, it is a sample of convenience. Therefore, no inferences maybe drawn about the preferences or type distribution of the population of New Zealand. The data reported in this technical brief should be used for psychometric information purposes only.  \nSample Description  \nThis sample is composed of 3,836 individuals who each completed the MBTI Form Q assessment in North American English. The sample includes 50% women and 50% men. Respondents’ ages ranged from 18 to 77 years (mean = 40.6, SD = 10.0); 94% were employed full-time or part-time, 2% were students, \u003C1% were retired, \u003C1% were currently seeking employment, and 4% 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, 20% were working in management; 15% in business and financial operations; 9% in office and administrative support; 9% in education, training, and library occupations; 8% in sales and related occupations; and the remainder in various fields. Of those who were employed and reported organizational level, 44% were management, 27% nonsupervisory, 11% supervisory, 10% executive, 4% entry level, and 4% top executive. All respondents reported their country of residence as New Zealand.
