John Myers

John Myers was an American doctor best known for developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychological tool that classifies individuals into 16 personality types based on preferences in perception and judgment. His work helps people understand themselves and others through insights into traits like introversion, extraversion, thinking, and feeling. While widely used in coaching, business, and education to improve communication and teamwork, the MBTI also faces some criticism regarding scientific validity. Overall, Myers' contribution has significantly impacted personality psychology by offering a structured way to explore human differences.
