Originally published in the 1985 MBTI® Manual, this handout shows the contributions made by each of the eight preferences to each of the sixteen MBTI personality types. The Effects of Each of the Eight Preferences in Work Situations, originally published in the 1987 version of Introduction to Type® by Isabel Myers, is also presented.

From the beginning of her work with psychological type, Isabel Briggs Myers was interested in and placed an emphasis on type development. As she tested items for inclusion in the early forms of the MBTI assessment, Myers began to identify response patterns that related people's effectiveness in the use of perception and judgment.

Great mysteries are driven by great characters, and Isabel Myers' mastery of personality served her well in winning the 1929 national Detective Murder Mystery Contest with Murder Yet to Come. Her first and only sojourn into fiction beat a field of contenders, including an entry from the soon-to-be-famous "Ellery Queen" (a nom de plume).

Detailed instructions in the form of a participant handout for understanding and applying MBTI® type basics and type dynamics for beginners. The handout explains how to understand the personality type table divisions, how to determine dominant and auxiliary functions for the 16 MBTI types, and characteristics of the preference pairs in the type table columns (ST, SF, NF, NT) and the quadrants (IS, ES, IN, EN).
