Who were Myers and Briggs?
Katherine Briggs began developing her ideas about personality similarities and differences during the early 1900s. She soon realized that her concepts were similar to those of Dr. Carl Jung and began to apply his complex theories to an operational format. In conjunction with her daughter Isabelle Myers, the two refined and improved the reliability and validity of this format in an effort to make it useful and applicable in the normal business world. Since it’s inception it has grown to be widely used in business, government, military, and normal life situations. Both Myers and Briggs have made available to the world a useful and operational tool for applying the type concepts of Carl Jung.
