Pre-Orientation Assignment: Take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Students who have taken the MBTI greatly appreciate the reflections that this instrument affords, and we will be using this information for an activity during orientation. The following is a summary of considerationsBEFORE you take the assessment:
- The MBTI is an instrument (not assessment) that is used to help you learn more about your personality and preferences.
- This will help you when it comes to your career as well as working well with others.
- When you take this assessment, please DO NOT think of work, being a student, or any other role but rather your natural preferences.
- Answer every question that you are asked, and choose the response that reflects the natural way you would respond or think.
- DO NOT select answers based on what you perceive would be the desirable response, as no such thing exists for this instrument. Again, the goal is to determine your natural preferences.
Remember:
- Complete the instrument byWednesday, July 20th
- Once you have taken the instrument, you are finished with this pre-work requirement.
