MBTI Step 2

MBTI® Step II is a multiple-choice personality assessment that looks beyond the type framework proposed by Step I and uncovers the many different facets of type that make each individual unique. The MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) framework helps people improve their working and personal relationships in a positive and constructive way.

Following on from the insights of Step I, Step II looks at differences not only between but within types by giving information about the five facets of each type preference. These are:

Extraversion-Introversion Where you prefer to get and focus your 'energy' or attention	Initiating Expressive Gregarious Active Enthusiastic	Receiving Contained Intimate Reflective Quiet
Sensing-Intuition The kind of information you prefer to gather and trust	Concrete Realistic Practical Experiential Traditional	Abstract Imaginative Conceptual Theoretical Original
Thinking-Feeling The process you prefer to use in evaluating information and coming to decisions	Logical Reasonable Questioning Critical Tough	Empathetic Compassionate Accommodating Accepting Tender
Judging-Perceiving How you prefer to deal with the world around you, your 'lifestyle'	Systematic Planful Early starting Scheduled Methodical	Casual Open-Ended Pressure-Prompted Spontaneous Emergent

Each facet combination acts as a trait scale, and scores can be plotted along this scale, eg Systematic-Casual, Practical-Conceptual. The beauty of Step II lies in the fact that individuals can obtain 'in-preference' or 'out-of-preference' scores on each facet. This can:

• Reveal the reasons behind any uncertainty they may have felt in Step I type
• Clarify specific areas where others may have seen their approach as inconsistent
• Reassure sceptics that there are more than 16 'types of people' in the world and they are complex individuals
• Uncover and resolve problematic differences between people of the same Step I type
• Help others discover the distinctive way they express their type
