The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the most widely used psychometric tools for understanding personality types. This tool categorizes individuals into 16 distinct personality types, each with specific preferences in how they perceive the world and make decisions. Understanding these types helps teams improve communication, reduce conflict, and increase overall performance.
Determines where people focus their energy (outward vs inward).
How individuals gather and process information (facts vs patterns).
The decision-making process (logic vs emotions).
How people interact with the external world (structured vs flexible).
Your team completes a quick online questionnaire—around 24 to 40 questions—and from that, we generate personalised DISC personality assessment reports that highlight behavioural preferences.
Each person’s unique combination of these preferences forms their MBTI personality type, which can be used to improve self-awareness and interpersonal understanding within teams.
For the Individual:
The MBTI assessment provides individuals with deep insights into their personal preferences, strengths, and areas for growth. It can lead to better self-awareness, improved decision-making, and personal development.
For the Team:
By understanding each team member’s personality, teams can foster better communication, increase collaboration, and address potential conflicts before they escalate. This leads to more cohesive and productive teams.
For the Company:
Integrating MBTI into your company’s L&D strategy enhances team dynamics and boosts overall team performance. It creates a more harmonious work environment, reduces turnover, and increases employee satisfaction.
The Myers Briggs tool fits seamlessly with Zing Events’ offerings. For instance, activities like Escape The Box or The Trading Floor can be tailored to enhance the understanding of personality dynamics and help teams apply their newfound knowledge in real-time. Using the MBTI in these activities will help teams:
Develop better strategies for collaboration.
Improve their communication through personalised insights.
Cultivate a deeper understanding of how different personality types can work together effectively.
Pre-Session: Participants complete a Myers Briggs questionnaire, typically lasting 20–30 minutes.
During the Session: A trained facilitator guides the team through a detailed debrief, explaining the nuances of their personality types and how they can work more effectively as a group.
Post-Session: Teams can use their results to improve workplace communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance team dynamics.
One-on-One Coaching: For deeper personal development, individuals can receive personalised coaching based on their MBTI results.
Follow-Up Workshops: Zing Events can arrange follow-up workshops that integrate MBTI insights into specific team building activities, such as leadership training or conflict resolution sessions.
Here’s how it plays out:
Pre-session
Everyone completes the MBTI assessment online. It takes 15–20 minutes, and the results are sent directly to our facilitators (and you, if you’d like a sneak peek).
Kick-off briefing
We run a 30-minute intro session explaining what MBTI is, why it’s helpful, and what each profile means. No jargon—just light, engaging content with a bit of humour.
Interactive activity
Next, we run a tailored team building event—like Escape The Box or The Trading Floor—where we observe behaviours in action.
Facilitated debrief
This is where the magic happens. We highlight behaviours that appeared during the activity and connect them back to each person’s MBTI profile.
Takeaway tools
Everyone gets a one-page style summary and optional email nudges for 30 days post-event.
