What is the purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)?

  1. To assess psychopathology

  2. To provide a measure of intelligence

  3. To describe personality features

  4. To understand the subject's current needs

The correct answer is: To describe personality features

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is to describe personality features and preferences, making option C the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the MBTI is not a diagnostic tool for mental health disorders. Option B is incorrect because the MBTI does not measure intelligence, but rather focuses on personality traits. Option D is also incorrect because the MBTI is not designed to understand current needs, but rather to provide insight into one's underlying personality characteristics.
