A Brief History

Founded in 1978 and based on principles of Myers-Briggs and the work of David Keirsey.  Katherine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Myers, studied the research of Jung, and in the 1950s expanded his work to include sixteen personality types. They developed the famous Myers/Briggs Type Indicator, which is used extensively in business, education and counseling for personal as well as professional growth.

David Keirsey, based on his continued research in the field of psychology, returned to classifying personality and temperament into four types:  Apollonian, Promethean, Epimethean, and Dionysian.  In 1967 David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates published Please Understand Me, which has become another cornerstone in personality typing.
