If
I already know my personality type,
is there any need to
take the
MBTI assessment again?
First, check that your personality type
was derived from taking the genuine MBTI tool. Other
type instruments are not as reliable and valid.
Second, consider how long ago you took the MBTI
assessment and whether your life circumstances have
changed dramatically since then.
Generally, because the
MBTI tool measures inherent preferences, there is no
need to take it multiple times. However, if your life
has changed significantly, you might find it helpful to
take it again.
In addition, the newer forms of the MBTI
assessment are based on the latest research, so if it
has been several years since you took the assessment,
you might consider retaking it.
Third, if you
have not already done so, consider contacting a
professional who can help you take Step II of the MBTI
tool, an advanced form that provides more depth to the
four-letter type by looking at different facets of each
of the four preferences.
