Isabel Briggs Myers

Isabel Briggs Myers was an American psychologist best known for co-creating the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a personality assessment tool. Developed during World War II, the MBTI categorizes people into 16 distinct personality types based on preferences in four pairs: introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. Her work aimed to help individuals understand themselves and improve communication, relationships, and career choices. The MBTI remains popular in various fields, including business and education, for fostering personal and professional development by highlighting individual differences.
