Know Thyself - It can make you happy!

Greetings to all,

As we change and transition into the next semester, let us know our internal selves a little better. Here is a great website to study. It is a more extended read, but well worth the time:  https://www.verywellmind.com/the-myers-briggs-type-indicator-2795583


The Development of the Myers-Briggs Test

Both Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine were fascinated by Jung's theory of psychological types and recognized that the theory could have real-world applications. During World War II, Myers and Briggs began researching and developing an indicator that could be utilized to help understand individual differences. By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier happier lives.
Myers created the first pen-and-pencil version of the inventory during the 1940s, and the two women began testing the assessment on friends and family. They continued to fully develop the instrument over the next two decades.
Sincerely,
April Vihilidal
