Addressing misconceptions about the MBTI® assessment
If you haven’t already, as an MBTI® practitioner you’re bound to hear:
“I found an article online that criticized the MBTI® assessment.”
Criticisms referenced in many of these articles are based on misunderstandings or misinformation about type theory and the MBTI assessment. The question is, what is the best way to respond to them?
Knowing the answers can make the difference between a successful, productive MBTI session and an ineffective, derailed one.
To help you answer these questions, in this whitepaper Patrick Kerwin, author and MBTI® Master Practitioner, examines the sources of common questions about the MBTI assessment, identifies the origins of misunderstandings or misinformation, and offers ways to address them.
