All OCTC students who take the GE 100 course, take the Myers Briggs test.   Counselor Dr. Joe Yazvac gives the tests and goes over the results with those students.  For students wanting more data, please read the following information
The following information comes from the website KnowYourType:Personality Testing for Groups and Individuals.
Isabel Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs Test to find a way to find practical use for Swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung's psychological types.  The two women researched normal personality differences for 50 years before they finally developed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Instrument.  When people take the test, they answer the questions themselves.  The results help people understand themselves, identify the differences between themselves and other people, hopefully resulting in better understanding and communication between people.  The test is also used for:
  • Career development and exploration
  • Organization development
  • Team building
  • Management and leadership training
  • Problem solving
  • Relationship counseling
  • Education and curriculum development
  • Academic counseling
  • Diversity and multicultural training
