The Origins of Jungian Typology

Over a century ago, Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung revolutionized our understanding of human psychology with his groundbreaking theory of psychological types. In the early 20th century, Jung categorized individuals based on their preferred ways of perceiving and judging the world. His work laid the foundation for understanding different personality types, offering a framework that has since been adapted to enhance performance, team building, and communication across various fields.

The Development of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

In 1943, inspired by Jung’s theories, Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, created the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This powerful tool has been widely adopted by millions of C-level executives in corporations and government organizations to improve performance and communication. With over 50 million assessments administered globally, the MBTI has become a cornerstone in personal and professional development, helping individuals and teams understand their strengths and work more effectively together.

Introducing Typology to Children: MMTIC

Recognizing the need to bring Jungian typology to younger audiences, in 1987, the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children (MMTIC) was developed. This tool helps children understand their personality types, learning styles, and communication preferences, fostering self-awareness and confidence from an early age. By tailoring the principles of typology to the needs of children, the MMTIC supports their personal growth and educational development.
