Katharine Cook Briggs MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Katharine Cook Briggs? Katharine Cook Briggs is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/so - 514 in Enneagram, in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
In Isabel Briggs Myers's book 'Gifts Differing', she mentions (not a direct quote, since I don't have the book with me here) that the book "would never have been finished without the combination of her own INFP [something], her son Peter's ENFP [something], and her mother's INFJ [something else]". I mean, she came up with the system, so her typing is probably correct.
