Myers Briggs Type Indicator Step 1
The most widely used personality assessment
Helen Brown is a registered MBTI Practitioner and will be happy to guide you and your organisation through MBTI Step 1.
The MBTI instrument is recognised all over the world as a foundation for individual development and improved self-awareness. It’s deceptively simple and based on sound and durable psychological theory.
The MBTI’s positive approach to understanding differences between people has made it the world’s most popular personality assessment.
It will help you to appreciate important differences between people, and understand that different working styles can be complementary, rather than a source of friction.
