Literature Review• The MBTI is based on Jungian-type theory (Jung,
1990/1971) and originally was developed as a career counseling tool (McCaulley, 1990).
• Approximately 2 million copies of the MBTI are sold each year (Healy, 2001), making it the most widely used personality instrument in the world (Jackson, Parker, & Dipboye, 1996; Quenk, 2000).
• The MBTI yields four bipolar preference scores: extraversion-introversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving (Myers
et al., 1998).
Literature Review
• MBTI is explicitly marketed as a tool to aid in selecting majors and careers.
• MBTI promotes understanding of why those careers are of interest.
• The MBTI also has been described as effective in increasing self- awareness, enhancing understanding of decision-making processes and preferences, and improving interpersonal communication (McCaulley, 1990).
• Apostal (1988) found that the MBTI stimulates self-concept exploration.
• Katz, Joyner, and Seaman (1999) found that the MBTI was as effective as the Strong Interest Inventory
