About this title

Synopsis:

Releasing hot on the heals of the publication of the newly-revised Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test, this is the first and only book to provide mental health professionals with state-of-the-art guidance on how to interpret and administer this test. One of the most popular personality assessment tests among teachers, counselors, government agencies, and industrial psychologists, the MBTI was inspired by Jung, and classifies test takers by broad personality types in order to gain valuable insights into how they gather and process information, make decisions, and orient themselves to the world around them.
