Many of you will be familiar with MBTI. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is a self-report instrument that helps to identify an individual’s strengths and personality based on four preferences.
The eight different options making up the four preferences are: introvert, extravert, sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling, judging and perceiving. Each preference category involves a major aspect of personality. Your Myers-Briggs type is based on your preferences in the following four categories:
- How we get our energy (Introverted or Extraverted)
- How we process information (Sensing or INtuition)
- How we make decisions (Thinking or Feeling)
- How we choose to live our life (Judging or Perceiving)
At Matchett, we regularly run MBTI Team days and use it as a tool on our management programmes. We’ve now decided to take the challenge further and have started to profile the animal world, starting with our feline friends!
Catty remarks
Is your cat constantly off gallivanting, fulfilling its role in nature as a predator (I) Or does Moggy prefer to mooch around at home with the family, lazing on laps and being made a fuss of (E)?
Have you noticed Frank the feline react to every sound, smell or movement (S)? Perhaps you’ve had visitors remark how your cat always looks like it’s up to something, prowling about and looking sly (N)?
Maybe TC likes to play with his mice for a while, practising his skills (T)? Could TC have a heart and dispatch his quarry as quickly and humanely as possible (F)?
How Pavlovian is your cat’s response to dinner times? Do you find him sitting there waiting near his food bowl at the same time everyday (J)? Then again, do you see his cuisine sat there for hours until your cat feels like eating it (P) despite you lavishing half your wage packet on the most luxurious pouches that money can buy?
Paws for thought
If we can successfully profile your cat, imagine the success in our noticing the differences within your teams and allowing them to get the most out of each type. For more information about utilising MBTI with your pets or your colleagues, please contact us.
