These letters are part of mbti (Myers Briggs Type Indicator). For regular readers of my blog you will have seen that in October 2010 whilst on a coaching coah in London I went through the Myers Briggs personalty profile. I found the exercise helpful so decided that I would take my staff away for a day for us to have a Myers Briggs day together.
Our trainer, Sean, was very helpful in explaining that Myers Briggs shows preferences - that's all, ie your preference might be towards Extroversion, hence E or Introversion - I. Either are fine. That is how God made you (I said that not Myers Briggs!).
Whatever you think of psychometric testing i think it helpful in getting to know yourself and appreciating those around you and working better as a Team. Myers Briggs is sometimes used to help resolve conflict or even in marriage counselling. For us a team, it certainly has made for lots of interesting conversations over the week end!
A small anomaly appeared for me however - in October I registered as an ESTJ, whilst I am now apparently an ENTJ. I don't think I will be loosing any sleep over it!
