In UCC, we use the MBTI as a framework for reflection and conversation, not as a scientific measure of personality or a predictor of performance. It is an assessment tool not a test, emphasising understanding rather than scoring.   
 
Its value lies in giving people a shared, accessible language to explore how they prefer to take in information, make decisions and work with others.  Its importance is in its ability to provide a consistent framework for understanding human personality and improving interactions across many areas of life. 
 
One's MBTI results are a starting point for growing awareness and your personal and professional development. It is not a label nor ever used to assess ability or skill.

Staff feedback

  • Knowing about other personalities and how they perform will allow me to be aware of other personalities I work with and how we can assist each other via our strengths 
  • I thought it was great; very interactive with a lot of examples. I will understand better other people and their point of view, as well as myself and my personality dealing with different personalities. 
  • This was excellent. Fantastic facilitator. One of the best workshops I have been to.  
  • There was a lot of food for thought.  It re-emphasised considering how others respond to situation and not to feel bad about how you yourself react. The time flew and the delivery was great.
  • Helps in understanding different behaviors and personalities of my colleagues, students, family and myself. Should be compulsory for everyone!
