d.). The MBTI was published in 1998 and is generally used by counselors, coaches, or consultants (The Myers and Briggs Foundation, n. d.). The assessment consists of 93 forced-choice questions rated to a degree on which the test taker agrees or disagrees. The result of this assessment yields a personality type. The personalities include extroversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. There are 16 different personality types. Reliability has improved through employment status, ethnicity, age, and country (Schaubhut, Herk, and Thompson, 2009). Reliability was found through text-retest reliability and internal reliability. Validity tests were through behavioral observations, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, correlations and related measures and brain scans (CPP – The people development people, 2016). The different forms (i.e. introvert scores versus extrovert scores) show significant differences on comparisons (The Myers and Briggs Foundation, n. …show more content…
