The Beginning of an Idea
Myers and Briggs were intrigued by Jung's theory of psychological types and recognized its practical potential. During World War II, they began research to create an indicator made to understand individual differences more deeply.
A Vision for Practical Application
Myers and Briggs believed that by helping individuals understand themselves better, they could guide them in choosing professions that matched their personality types, thereby promoting healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Development and Testing
During the 1940s, Myers developed the initial pen-and-paper version of the inventory. The duo then tested the assessment on acquaintances and relatives, refining the instrument extensively over the next twenty years.
