SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stress awareness month and Earth Day are being recognized in the same month: April. The Myers-Briggs Company is honoring both by sharing new information connecting stress, nature, and MBTI^® personality type.

New MBTI Type & Sustainability Research

In honor of Earth Day and Stress Awareness Month, The Myers-Briggs Company has released new research, an infographic, and more connecting the power of nature for stress reduction and MBTI personality type.

"Collective action and changes in individual behavior are needed if we're going to avert the worst effects of climate change," says John Hackston, Head of Thought Leadership for The Myers-Briggs Company. "This study investigates how MBTI personality type relates to pro-environmental attitudes, associated behaviors, and to climate change skepticism."

Stress, Nature & Personality Type

Differences in Myers-Briggs^® personality preferences play a part in stress triggers and the most effective behaviors people can use to reduce stress. Additionally, according to a study published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, spending at least 120 minutes per week in nature is associated with lower levels of stress, good health and well-being. The Myers-Briggs Company marries these topics in their new infographic: Stress, Nature, and MBTI Personality Type. In addition to stress triggers, the infographic also illustrates specific nature-focused recommendations for stress-reducing activities.

"Our natural environment can be a powerful stress-reducer," says Hackston. "Multiple studies have been done proving the connection, and pairing nature with self-awareness around personality type can help people actively build their resilience and increase their well-being."
