The career assessment created by a mother and daughter team based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed this personality assessment starting in the early 20th century, inspired by Jung’s theory of psychological types. Katharine was captivated by Jung’s ideas and sought to simplify them for practical use. Isabel expanded the work during World War II, designing a questionnaire to help people identify their personality types and match them to suitable careers. The MBTI identifies 16 personality types based on four dichotomies derived from Jung's cognitive functions, aiming to help individuals understand their strengths and preferences in work and life
. This assessment is widely used to assist with career guidance by matching personality types to jobs where individuals are most likely to thrive and feel satisfied
