Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers (mother/daughter) were fans of the work of Carl Jung. The US entry into World War II (1941) motivated Isabel Briggs Myers to develop a personality instrument based on Jung's work to help people get a better fit between themselves and their jobs, (and conficts in general). She developed the first pen & pencil test, the mother/daugher team tested it on friends and family.
