4. The MBTI ® has a unique background

It is one of the few models of personality that describes differences positively. There are no better or worse types to be!

5. Fundamental assumptions
The MBTI questionnaire assesses preferences, it is NOT a test
Preferences are not absolutes: everyone uses all eight
Preferences are not abilities: MBTI does not tell you what you can and can’t do
People are the best judges of their own (best fit) type

To keep in mind !!
Psychological Type doesn’t stereotype.
The MBTI® helps people to know themselves better and to get a better understanding of their relationship with others.
No preference or type is “better” or “worse”.
Preferences are not an excuse for doing or not doing something.
The MBTI® explains only a part of human behavior
