Developing Effective Teams
Using the MBTI, teams can evaluate their strengths and also clarify biases in their working practices. For instance, does the team over-emphasise logical assessment at the expense of considering personnel issues, such as morale? Or does it focus too strongly on strategy and not enough on the practicalities of implementation? By assessing these biases, teams begin to appreciate the importance of valuing different approaches and perspectives.

Managing Change
Individuals of different Types tend to experience change and the process of transition in quite different ways. Building awareness of these different reactions can help managers and organisations support their staff and themselves through the trauma of organisational change.

Problem-Solving
The MBTI gives an insight into potential strengths and blindspots in problem solving and hence can allow individuals and groups to improve the breadth and depth of their analyses.

Counselling
The MBTI is very helpful in building self-esteem as it explicitly emphasises the positive contribution that each Type can make. It can also help in dealing with conflict in relationships as, having identified the differences, it focuses on valuing those differences and gives people a clear way of understanding them.

Improving Teaching/ Training Methods
The MBTI can be used to analyse and improve teaching methods. It provides a framework for understanding differences in learning styles, and hence for creating learning situations which will appeal to different Types. It also helps teachers explore various styles of communicating with people
