Will knowing my type help me know the
type of person with whom I would be most
happy?
No, but...
Relationships are too complex, and what makes people
happy is too diverse, for one instrument to capture such
information reliably.
Successful and happy couples have
included people who share the exact same personality
type, people whose types are opposite, and people with
some preferences in common and others distinct.
That said, the MBTI tool is often used in
couples counseling because it can help reveal normal
healthy differences between partners.
A couple who takes
the MBTI assessment and then learns to respect and value
each person’s style has built at least part of the
foundation for a happy relationship. |
