Myers Briggs Type Indicator

Myers-Briggs uses a personality inventory to give information about “type”. Myers-Briggs is based on a theory that says differences in behaviour result from people’s inborn tendencies to use their minds in different ways. As people act on these tendencies, they develop patterns of behaviour.

Once you know your “type”, there are resources that will show you what jobs/careers people of the same type gravitate to. The following websites have “type” tests and some resources for you to learn more about your type.
