Definition:
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): A personality inventory useful for measuring individual differences; based on Jung's theory of personality. Gen Psych, Chapter 11, Pg. 371

For more information on the MBTI see: @http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator @http://www.myersbriggs.org/ @http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/tt/t-articl/mb-simpl.htm

For a class survey of the MBTI and the Big Five test results see: Chapter 11 Discussion

Examples:
The MBTI scores the test taker on four separate bipolar dimensions: Extraversion (E) <--> Introversion (I) Sensing (S) <--> Intuiton (N) Thinking (T) <--> Feeling (F) Judging (J) <--> Perceptive (P)

Analogies:
The MBTI is like a broken coin sorting machine that puts every other penny in the quarters and every 4th nickle in with the dimes. - If you look at all of the 16 possible results of the MBTI, you will find that they are worded so vaguely that they all sound like they fit your personality.
