The Myers-Briggs type theory is based on the work of which psychologist?

Sigmund Freud
Carl Jung
Frank Parsons
Donald Super

The correct answer is: Carl Jung

The Myers-Briggs type theory is founded on the psychological concepts introduced by Carl Jung. Jung developed a framework that categorized personality based on various dichotomies, such as introversion versus extraversion and thinking versus feeling. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), created by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, further developed and operationalized Jung's theories into a practical tool for assessing individual personality types based on preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. This alignment with Jung’s theories is what establishes the foundation of the MBTI and supports the selection of this answer as being the correct attribution for the origin of the Myers-Briggs type theory.
