Abstract: Abstract As a strength-based theory the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) lends itself to developing assertiveness, in particular self-confidence and positive self-belief. The MBTI highlights people’s “gifts differing” and the importance of appreciating differences in how people are energized, gather information, make decisions and prefer to organize our lives. Indeed the theorists and practitioners Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger (2000) suggest that according to their research psychological differences are more significant and pertinent than gender differences.
