Abstract
This paper presents a model for using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as a self-awareness tool in baccalaureate social work education. The model is based on eight years of use in one Social Work Program. The paper also presents the results of an exploratory study done to assess the model. The MBTI is a scientific instrument used to indicate different preferences on four dimensions: source of energy, perception, decision-making, and relation to the external world. The development and purpose of the MBTI are discussed and a description of the components of the instrument is included. Techniques for effective and ethical testing and use in the classroom to promote self-awareness are provided. Implications for social work educators are also addressed.
