As part of the MBA, one of the first things they made each candidate do was perform the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, which is quite a simple test that helps to indicate your preferences. This was important as it helped you right from the start to understand what your potential strengths and weaknesses could be and also those of your colleagues. It’s a shame that we didn’t utilise this to more effect throughout the MBA.

Knowing the profiles of your fellow co-workers will definitely help you understand much better their motives and how they will react to different circumstances and can prove to be a valuable tool in human relationships.

Now that I’m in business for myself and the results of this test are even more important as they help me understand what I can contribute and what I cannot. If you’re interested in taking the test the 41Q website has a free Myers-Briggs test on their website.

Here’s my results, Think-Train’s MBTI Results.
