What We Do

As stewards of the legacy of Isabel Briggs Myers, the creator of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instruments and system, our mission is to evolve her work towards a future full of people who extend the value of their own difference to an international family. We are part of a world-wide community of type enthusiasts, expert practitioners, and academic researchers.

Myers & Briggs Foundation is enthusiastic and open to all people interested in the value and impact of personality type and how it can improve our relationships, our work, and our organizations. As experts committed to the knowledgeable and ethical use of the MBTI® assessments, we educate practitioners in the MBTI Certification Program, and support rigorous research driven by curiosity, transparency, and the intent to evolve the theory and application of psychological type forward.


We strive to support people to live a better life.
