Abstract
Here is a bit of history on the ladies behind the tool. Katharine Cook Briggs (1875–1968) began her research into personality in 1917. Upon meeting her future son-in-law, she observed marked differences between his personality and that of other family members. To maintain her relationship with her daughter, Briggs sought to better understand Myers and his differences.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
[Albert Einstein 1879–1955 Physicist and Nobel Laureate]
