You’re a manager about to hire a new employee who has taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. How might the results of this test help you better establish a good working relationship and conditions for this individual?

What will be an ideal response?


The MBTI measures several components that might help you design a work-life
and task component for your new employee. One dimension, introvert or extrovert, will help you understand how the employee might interact socially with other employees and whether to involve them in group projects or find ways to utilize them individually. The sensor or intuitive dimension could help you determine how fast the employee will learn new procedures and projects and in what style that might occur. The thinking or feeling dimension might help you determine whether the employee will be more comfortable with explicit instructions or learning through feeling out how others think or engage with a project. Finally, the judger or perceiver dimension will help you determine how the employee’s schedule and workflow should be organized and presented.
