Le MBTI(r) est le fruit d’études méticuleuses, s’administre aisément et contribue à sensibiliser les personnes appelées à travailler ensemble à ce qu'elles ont de commun et de particulier. Il permet également de diriger les individus vers des postes qu'ils trouveront satisfaisants et rémunérateurs; il met en évidence et explique les divers styles de direction, les rôles privilégiés dans les équipes et les modes de résolution de problèmes préférés des individus. Quiconque a pour buts la cohésion du personnel, le travail d’équipe et l'accroissement de la productivité trouvera dans le MBTI(r) un outil d’une difficulté éprouvée. 1, record 5, French, - indicateur%20de%20types%20psychologiques%20Myers%2DBriggs
