The Development of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® and the 16 Personalities. It all began in 1923, when Katherine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, read Carl Jung's Psychological Types.
The 16 personality types were created by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs, developers of the MBTI® assessment. Myers and Briggs created their personality typology to help people discover their own strengths and gain a better understanding of how people are different.
