"Whether people first hear about the two kinds of perception and two kinds of judgment as children, high school students, parents or grandparents, the richer development of their own type can be a rewarding adventure for the rest of their lives."
–Isabel Myers

Ethics for
Administering the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
Instrument
Tell respondents that taking the Indicator is always voluntary
and offer the opportunity not to participate.
Insist that Indicator results never be used to label,
evaluate, or limit the respondent in any way.
Ensure that type results are confidential and not given
to anyone besides the respondent without permission.
Inform respondents of the purpose of taking the instrument
and how results will be used.
Tell respondents the Indicator is not a test, since
there are no right or wrong answers.
If the instrument is given for research purposes, sharing
the results with respondents is not required but highly recommended.
Do not take specific questions from the Indicator to
get a “quick reading” on a particular preference pair.
Administer and score the Indicator in accordance with the
guidelines in the most current edition of the MBTI®
Manual.
