Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
MBTI is the most widely used personality assessment in the world today. Based on Carl Jung’s theory, this assessment takes inventory of your personality telling us whether you’re more extroverted or introverted, more sensing or intuitive, more thinking or feeling, and more judging or perceptive. You’ll learn about your own personality, and we’ll help you see where that personality type fits in with a variety of careers and majors. VIA Institute on Character
