MBTI

Myers-briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)

Personality Assessment for Leadership Development, Team Effectiveness, and Workplace Communication 

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) is a globally recognized personality framework that provides structured insight into how individuals gather information, make decisions, manage energy, and approach structure.

In complex organizations across the UAE and GCC, personality differences influence communication clarity, decision dynamics, team alignment, and leadership presence.

MBTI® does not measure capability.
It clarifies preference.​

Forward Training & Consulting integrates MBTI® into structured leadership and team development pathways designed to reduce friction, increase behavioral awareness, and strengthen execution alignment across organizations.

What the MBTI® Framework Measures

MBTI® measures personality preferences across four dimensions that shape leadership behavior and workplace interaction.

Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N):

How individuals interpret information.

​

  • Sensing types prioritize facts, data, and present realities.

  • Intuitive types focus on patterns, strategy, and future implications.

​

Strong organizations integrate both operational precision and strategic foresight.

Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P):

How individuals approach structure and deadlines.

​

  • Judging types prefer planning, predictability, and closure.

  • Perceiving types prefer flexibility, adaptability, and optionality.

​

Teams that recognize these differences reduce tension during execution cycles.

Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I):

Where individuals direct and renew energy.

​

  • Extraverts think aloud and energize through interaction.

  • Introverts reflect internally and recharge through focused concentration.

​

Understanding energy dynamics improves meeting structure, decision flow, and collaboration design.

Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F):

How individuals make decisions.

​

  • Thinking types prioritize logic, objectivity, and consistency.

  • Feeling types weigh impact, values, and relational consequences.

​

Balanced leadership requires analytical rigor and stakeholder awareness.

The 16 MBTI® Personality Types

The combination of preferences across these dimensions creates 16 personality types, grouped broadly into:

​

Analysts: INTJ, INTP, ENTJ, ENTP – Strategic, logical, and innovation-focused.
Diplomats: INFJ, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP – Values-driven, empathetic, and relationship-oriented.
Sentinels: ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ESFJ – Structured, dependable, and execution-focused.
Explorers: ISTP, ISFP, ESTP, ESFP – Adaptable, practical, and action-oriented.

​

Each type contributes distinct strengths to leadership teams, succession pipelines, and innovation systems.

MBTI® reframes difference as design intelligence, not dysfunction.
