I found this book of Myers-Briggs exercises very helpful in adding new interactive activities to my programs. The book has several examples of activities for each of the MBTIs mental functions (Sensing, iNtuition, Thinking and Feeling), the attitudes (Extraversion, Introversion, Judging and Perceiving) and combinations of the preferences. The directions are easy to follow and the programs can be adapted to your audience. I use them with college students as well as older adult groups. The exercises are fun and do a good job of explaining how preferences work in the real world. I do wish there were a few more facilitator tips in each exercise. Having said that, for people familiar with what the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is and is not, these exercises will keep your program fun and help in the learning process of your group.

As someone newly qualified to use MBTI, I was looking for some activities to use when doing MBTI feedback and therefore found this book very helpful to give me some great group MBTI activities. The only downside is that it hasn't got many activities/questions to use in individual feedback situations, which would have been useful.
Living in Scotland I wanted to purchase the book in the United Kingdom but couldn't find it here, and Amazon.com came to the rescue. Good price given it had to be shipped across the pond!
