The
Case for Using Personality Type
Over the
past several years, thousands of career professionals have discovered
that Personality Type is an important component in the career
management process. In helping clients find a satisfying career,
counselors have traditionally focused on identifying a client's
abilities, values, and interests. The conventional wisdom was
the more of these three that are congruent with the potential
career, the more satisfied the client will be. However, while
these elements are important, the problem with this approach
is, they all change over time. And since so many young people
are forced to make career decisions before they really know
themselves well, the information reflected in these assessments
is often misleading.
Made
popular by the well-respected Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
or MBTI®, many counselors find that Personality
Type often provides clients with the most useful insights about
themselves and their career-related needs. Personality Type
identifies four key aspects of a one's personality: how they
are energized, take in information, make decisions, and like
to organize their life. Personality Type remains constant throughout
one's life, although people grow and develop as they age.
A
strong link has been established between the types of occupations
people find satisfying and their personality type. Although
people of all types can succeed in any job, significant research
conducted over twenty years clearly indicates that certain types
gravitate and are more satisfied in some fields much more often
than others.

Marriage
and Family Therapists
Many
marriage and family therapists have discovered that the Personality
Type perspective can help couples better understand themselves,
their partners, and the dynamics of their relationships. Personality
Type has also been demonstrated to be a very effective therapeutic
tool for helping couples communicate more effectively.
Key
Research on Type and Relationships
In preparation for writing their book JUST YOUR TYPE,
authors Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger conducted extensive
research into the connection between Personality Type and relationship
satisfaction. The most comprehensive study of its kind, the
research consisted of:
- interviews
with couples' therapists to identify key issues
- an
extensive on-line questionnaire completed by 2,500 individuals
- extended
open-ended questionnaire completed by 700 individuals
- in-depth
interviews with hundreds of couples representing all 136 possible
type combinations
