What is the MBTI useful for?
The MBTI is a framework for self-awareness and personal development and it can be used in almost any setting as a tool for coaching people in communication styles. Some clients might find it very helpful during counselling.
Information about the 16 different Types and their relevance to team building and interpersonal relationships is available for free at: The MBTI Foundation
