About the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Based in Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is the most widely administered and researched personality tool in use today. The MBTI assessment is a cognitive personality tool, and is grounded in the theory that we all have inborn preferences in the way we gather information, make decisions, energize, and orient ourselves to the outer world.

OKA built its reputation by presenting the MBTI assessment as a tool to enhance communication, team dynamics, decision making and leadership. OKA has qualified over 13,000 people to use the MBTI over the last 30 years. We also facilitate introductory and advanced MBTI workshops for a broad range of clients each month
