Focus on Assessment: An Introduction to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and what it can tell you

The TrainHR webinar is approved by HRCI and SHRM Recertification Provider.
Overview: This webinar introduces the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) framework and how it can benefit interactions in work and life. Learn about the MBTI® preferences and guesstimate your own personality type. Learn how you can adopt the insights gleaned from the MBTI® to help your employees build rewarding careers, stronger work teams, and greater leadership potential.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® is a personality inventory designed to help individuals better understand themselves -their natural strengths, preferences, and potential areas for development. It can also help people understand and deal more effectively with others, particularly those who do not see the world in the same way. More than 50 years of research and development have been invested in creating the MBTI®, making it a widely known and respected assessment tool.

Why should you Attend: From self-development to team development, understanding personality can increase effectiveness in every aspect of life. Learn the underlying reasons for individual differences and how to make the most of these. Save time, money and frustrations resulting from workplace miscommunications and conflict and gain insight on how to work effectively with different types.

In a technologically advanced world where everything can be replicated, interpersonal skills are probably the only remaining source of competitive advantage. It’s now more important than ever to understand what makes different people tick. Whether you call it “people skills”, “emotional intelligence (EQ)” or something else, if you deal with people, you’ll want to know how to work effectively with different types.
