Bring out the best in your team
MBTIonline Teams is powered by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment, the world’s most popular psychometric tool. The assessment is backed by 70+ years of research and used by leading organizations for people development, including 88% of Fortune 500 companies.
Teams work more smoothly when people understand themselves and one another.

MBTIonline Teams is ideal for in-person or virtual teams of 3 to 125 people looking for a flexible, yet powerful, self-guided team-building experience to improve team effectiveness. You don’t need an MBTI® certification to purchase and use this product.
Please note that MBTIonline Teams is intended for team development and should not be used in the hiring of new employees or the selection of individuals to form a team. The MBTI assessment, which forms the backbone of this product, is invaluable for team building, leadership development, conflict management and other uses, but as the assessment is not designed to measure aptitude or performance, it would be unethical to use it to make hiring or personnel decisions.

No. MBTIonline Team is designed to be a fully self-guided, digital learning experience that does not require MBTI certification to purchase or use with your teams.
MBTIonline Teams is designed to be flexible and completed at the team’s own pace. Team members first take the MBTI assessment and validate their result through an interactive best-fit process, which takes about 45 minutes. Upon completion, they can immediately start exploring their results as they wait for others to complete the assessment.
Once everyone on the team has completed the MBTI assessment, the team portion of the experience is unlocked. At that point, team members can go through the team content individually or together in as little as a single afternoon or over a longer period—depending on how much time is available. For teams that prefer a live learning experience, a facilitator’s guide is included to help the team leader or designated facilitator lead the learning step-by-step.
Optional self-paced courses round out the learning experience for each team member.
Setting up MBTIonline Teams is quick and easy. Whether you’re purchasing for your own team or on behalf of a team, you’ll first create a free customer account that you’ll use to purchase seats for MBTIonline Teams.* Seats can be used right way or later to set up one or multiple teams.
When setting up a team, you’ll simply enter each member’s name and email address. Once setup is complete, an automated email will be sent to each member with instructions.
*Note: If you’re an existing customer with an Elevate® account, please log in to purchase MBTIonline Teams.
Yes. The purchaser can make changes to a team and rerun the MBTIonline Teams experience when members join or leave the team. Additional fees may apply depending on the change; for example, a seat from your inventory will be required to add a new team member to an existing team.
MBTIonline Teams does not currently support the creation of sub-teams within a larger team in an automated way.
However, you can create sub-teams by treating them as separate teams and purchasing the required amount of inventory. Example: You have a team of 15 members and you want to create one team comprising all 15 members and a sub-team comprising only 5 of those 15 members. In this scenario, you will need to purchase 20 seats and use them to create two separate teams.
If an individual already knows their four-letter MBTI type from a previous MBTIonline Teams experience, they will not need to retake the assessment when completing MBTIonline Teams again. Their type will be reused automatically as long as 1) the email address associated with the individual's previous MBTIonline Teams account is used to invite them to the new team, and 2) the Elevate account that was used to administer the previous MBTIonline Teams experience is used again for the new administration.
Otherwise, everyone going through the MBTIonline Teams experience will be required to take the MBTI assessment and an interactive learning session to validate their MBTI type preference.
Yes. Included with purchase is a facilitator’s guide that the team leader or facilitator can use to conduct an optional group learning session. The guide comes as a set of PowerPoint slides with facilitator notes that can be used to deliver a one-, two-, or four-hour session. Designed for use by someone who is not an expert on the MBTI assessment or personality type, the guide leverages MBTIonline Teams content to help team members:
