What primary psychological theory is the Human Metrics assessment based on?

The Human Metrics assessment is primarily based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. Jung's work focused on categorizing individuals based on their mental processes and personality traits. He introduced concepts such as introversion and extraversion, as well as thinking and feeling, which laid the groundwork for various personality assessments, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The Human Metrics assessment uses these concepts to help individuals understand their personality preferences and how these preferences influence their behavior and interactions with others. This approach allows for a deeper exploration of one’s personality, aiding in personal development and improving communication in various contexts, such as in relationships and workplace dynamics.
