Basic versions of the MBTIŪ Step I reveal how people fit within psychologist Carl Jungs theory of psychological type. Individuals, couples and teams are able to identify their natural patterns for accessing information and making decisions to improve their personal and interpersonal performance using the four letter code approach. What they are not able to do is explore and identify their unique individuality within the type code that best describes their pattern. The MBTIŪ Step II instrument accomplishes this.
Isabel Myers, developer of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator observed that people of any four letter code share similarities and possess differences with others of the same. She was in the process of developing an in-depth individualized method to offer clues about how each person expresses and experiences his or her type pattern at the time of her death in 1980.
Step II provides individuals the opportunity to dig deeper into their preferences to understand more about themselves in relation to others. In the MBTIŪ Step II each of the four dichotomies are composed of five facets. These facets explain the uniqueness of the individual in greater detail, and serve to identify the differences that are experienced between two persons of a given type.
Business and organizational professionals use Step II to provide high-level executives, teams and coaching clients greater insight into areas of preference and avoidance which impacts decision making, problem solving, communications and conflict. Step II brings to light the subtle nuances of personality type found in us all. It helps to target areas of personal strength and challenges that are clear and specific, which results in a more productive type experience.
