The MBTI^® Personality Assessment

Find out more about what
makes you tick

As a careers professional, I am a great fan of MBTI^® and I believe it is one of the most helpful personality assessments available, especially for anyone who is reviewing their career direction.

I trained to use the MBTI^® with the UK based Oxford Psychologists Press and I use their online services to give you access to the MBTI^® Personality Assessment.

The full assessment has been developed by qualified occupational psychologists and has been tested rigorously over many years.

It means you can be sure that the questions are well designed to measure your personality preferences and you will get a much more accurate result than from some of the free online personality tests available.

The results are generally pretty true to life, and most people taking the MBTI^® agree with at least 3 out of 4 of the preference types that are reported.

With the results of a full MBTI^® Personality Assessment, you can be confident that you are using an accurate assessment of your personality as part of your overall career change planning.

But remember that the results will depend partly on the way you respond to the questions. If you complete the questionnaire in a hurry without much thought, then you are less likely to get an accurate reflection of your real preferences.

At the end of the day, the best judge of your true personality will always be you!

You will be emailed a detailed questionnaire to complete. It is divided into 3 sections and has 88 questions in all.

All the questions ask you to select between two options. Your responses to these 'forced choices' helps to narrow down exactly where your preferences lie. You will probably find it difficult to choose with some of these, but I suggest you always try and make your best guess.

It is important to answer the questions as you instinctively respond, and try to avoid giving the answer your think you 'should' be giving, or how you would like to be. This is about getting at the real you.

When you receive the questionnaire from me, you should save it onto your computer. When you have some quiet time to do the questionnaire thoughtfully, open it up and use the Select button to make your choices for each question.

Save it again and then email it back to Oxford Psychologists Press using the address you will be given.

You should get a reply within 30 minutes to indicate that your questionnaire has been received.

OPP will generate your personalised report from your responses and they send it to me first of all and I then pass it on to you.

You will receive a 10 page report that has been produced specifically for you

from the responses you gave on your questionnaire.The focus of the report is how your type preferences will relate to the way you operate in work environments.

The report includes:

• An explanation of your personal MBTI^® results
• A description of your preferred work style

An indication of:

• What you contribute at work
• What your leadership style is like
• What kind of work environment you will be more comfortable with
• Your preferred learning style
• The challenges and pitfalls that may arise from your preferences
• Suggestions for personal development

In relation to each letter of your type:

• Your work preferences
• Your communication style

Information about the impact of the order of your preferences – which ones are dominant and how stress can draw out your less preferred behaviour patterns.

Details of how type will influence your approach to problem solving - very relevant to career change and job search!

You have two options. You can simply take the MBTI^® Assessment and receive the personalised report to look through and digest in your own time. The report is detailed and should give you a good understanding of what your MBTI^®preferences mean.

The cost of the Personality Assessment and personal report is £75 (approx 119 US dollars or 83 Euros).

Alternatively, you can follow the assessment with a 1-1 coaching session which will allow you to discuss your results in detail with me and ask any questions you may have about what the results might mean for you and for your career direction.

The cost of the MBTI^® Personality Assessment, personal report and an hour of 1-1 discussion about your results is £125 (approx 202 US Dollars or 141 Euros).

Click here to go to the payment page and use the appropriate PayPal button to make your secure payment. You can pay from your PayPal account if you have one or you can use your credit card.

You will then be taken to a page confirming your payment and asking you to send your name, primary email address so I can send you your questionnaire. I also ask for a contact phone number so I can ring you to arrange your 1-1 coaching session, if you have requested this. I assure you that you will not get unsolicited phone calls on other matters.

When I have received both your personal details and your payment, I will email the questionnaire to you with full instructions on how to complete it.

You return the questionnaire to OPP as explained above and I then email the report to you as soon as it is ready.

If you have requested a 1-1 coaching session to discuss your Personality Assessment, I will contact you by phone a few days later to arrange a convenient time.

I am sure you will enjoy taking the MBTI^® Personality Assessment interesting and will find the results revealing and helpful in relation to your career planning.
