The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument and the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children® assessment share a common theoretical basis: Carl Jung's conception of psychological type as expanded by the work of Isabel Myers. The primary difference in the two instruments is the age groups they target: the MBTI® assessment is aimed at adults, while the MMTIC™ is intended for use with children and teenagers.
Student development and learning is influenced not only by a child's personality, but by the psychological type of significant adults in the child's life. Understanding both sides of the communication pathways that influence a child's learning, therefore, necessitates knowledge of the type preferences of not only the child, but also of parents and teachers. These will be best assessed by administration of the appropriate instrument, MMTIC or MBTI.
Once assessed, there are many resources to help parents, teachers, and children improve communication, understanding, and learning by awareness of one another's type preferences.
