Isabel Briggs Myers & Katharine Cook Briggs
Developers of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
Isabel Briggs Myers (October 18, 1897 - May 5, 1980) was a psychological theorist who developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
along with her mother Katharine Cook Briggs (1875 - 1968). Katharine's interest in personality theory was born when she read a book
by Carl Jung in 1923. Katharine shared her findings with Isabel and together they created
the inventory. They both had a passion for understanding human development and a desire to make personality theory accessible to
everyone in a practical way.
The MyPersonality.info Personality Test is based on the work of Myers-Briggs and is a free alternative
to the fee-based MBTI® Assessment.
