The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-report questionnaire whose purpose is to indicate differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions.
Katherine Briggs found Psychiatrist Carl Jung’s work useful while she was also grappling with similar thoughts. She and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, took the core components of Jung’s theory and created the MBTI instrument. The MBTI instrument helps people to understand their psychological type and is the most widely-used personality assessment in the world. Knowing your type is important because each career and job has specific personality requirements of the worker. In career coaching, we use your type information by comparing it to people working in actual jobs so you can see the best fit for you.
The goal of this assessment is to give insight into a person’s interests, so that they may have less difficulty in deciding on an appropriate career choice for themselves. The test was developed by psychologist Edward Kellog Strong, Jr. and later revised by Jo-Ida Hansen and David Campbell. After scoring, an individual can then view how their personal interests compare with the interests of people in a specific career field. The Strong Interest Inventory incorporates the information on the Myers-Briggs assessment and helps individuals identify their work personality by exploring their interests in six broad areas: realistic, artistic, investigative, social, enterprising, and conventional. The Strong also looks at an individual’s personal style preferences in five areas: work style, learning environment, team orientation, leadership style, and risk-taking, and ranks the individual’s top 5 or 10 most compatible occupations from a list of 260 specific jobs.
Career coaching is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself or someone you love. It affects what you do on a daily basis which, in turn, affects the rest of the areas of your life, your standard of living, your health, where you live and ultimately your overall sense of happiness and well-being. Trying to do a job or career search on your own can be overwhelming and is like going on a Safari with no guide. A Career coach provides the support, resources, and accountability needed, which, will help reduce the time out of work or needed to do a career search on your own and will increase your confidence that you are on the right track and give you much needed support through the process. Wayne Kessler, our founder, is both a certified coach as well as a licensed therapist who has been helping people learn more about themselves and find fulfilling careers and jobs for over 10 years.
