How can I deal with stress better?” If you ask yourself any of these questions, you may find some of your answers by taking the Myers Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI).  You can join other CU students for a one-time group interpretation of your results.  To get more information about the MBTI, visit our website, or call CAPS at (303) 492-6766.
