The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a practical application of psychological types first presented by Carl Jung in the 1920's and is currently used as a sort of classification system to sort people according to one of 16 different personality types. These personality types help to predict in a broad scope how an individual will behave in any given situation (though it ignores situational factors) The MBTI system was developed in the 1940's by Isabel Myers-Briggs (Hence the name Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and is used worldwide by millions for different applications. Some examples of its application include: Introspection, Job applications or placements, career planning, psychiatric evaluations and many others as well.
