The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)® Step II provides the same information shown above in Step I, along with additional depth and clarification within each of the four MBTI preference pairs. It identifies some of the unique ways individuals express their personality type by breaking each of the four preference pairs into five additional facets. These 20 facets help individuals understand their personality type more completely. Step II also clarifies the differences that are often seen between two persons of the same type.
As with MBTI Step I, the Step II can be used for personal growth, leadership development, coaching, and understanding team dynamics. It is particularly useful in working with individual and teams who are familiar with MBTI Step I and would like to expand their understanding of their personality type. It is also used to help individuals clarify their MBTI Step I best fit type.
Requires certification to administer.
