Coming from 3ds Max I was wondering if it's possible to inset a group of faces. The result I would like to achieve (using 3ds Max):

This is the result I get using the inset tool in Blender:

    $\begingroup$ You have duplicate geometry and zero sized faces. Cleanup your mesh by removing doubles before insetting $\endgroup$

As pointed out in the comments first I had to apply the scale to the object (Ctrl+A> Scale) and then remove doubles (W> Remove Doubles) for the inset to work as expected.
