MBTI training can aid effective
The MBTI instrument is quite different from most other psychological instruments in its construction, scoring and interpretation. It is based on Jung's theory about normal personality differences and needs to be interpreted accordingly. Qualification training is intended to give the user basic knowledge needed to use type appropriately. The publisher, CPP, Inc., sets minimum requirements to use the MBTI instrument. These include completion of course work or equivalent documented training in tests and measurements. Zeisset Associates, Inc., is a CPP-approved provider of MBTI qualifying training. Persons with advanced degreees who are already qualified are invited to increase their knowledge and competence in using the MBTI instrument by taking the qualifying training. Such persons are exempt from taking the national exam, if they wish. If you need clarification on whether or not you are already qualified, contact CPP at 800-624-1765.
