MBTI Instrument Highlights: A DiSC Comparison
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument is the most widely used personality assessment in the world. Formally translated into 16 1anguages, it is a growing force in team building, leadership and individual development in organizations. Based on the breakthrough work of Carl Jung, the MBTI assessment provides a description of individuals’ preferences for two cognitive activities: taking in information and organizing and processing the information in order to make decisions.
People make use of their entire range of cognitive processes but tend to have a preference for using one over all the others. Understanding these preferences and the role they play in people’s behavior can help increase collaboration and improve relationships, productivity, and efficiency in a work environment.
The DiSC instrument was designed to be administered with the individual considering a specific situation when responding. The MBTI assessment is a more general instrument that provides a set of preferences and a model for understanding the behavior of self and others across a variety of situations.
