The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children® assessments share a common theoretical basis: Carl Jung's conception of psychological type as expanded by the work of Isabel Myers.
The primary difference in the two instruments is the age groups they target: the MBTI® assessment was developed for adults, while the MMTIC® assessment is intended for use with children and teenagers.
Student development and learning is influenced not only by a young person's personality, but by the psychological type of the significant adults in their life. Understanding both sides of the communication patterns that influence a child's learning necessitates knowledge of the type preferences of not only the child, but also of parents and teachers.
Once psychological type preferences are known and understood, there are many resources available to help parents, teachers, and children improve communication, understanding, and learning by awareness of one another's type preferences.
