The MBTI® Personality Test
The MBTI® personality test is the most widely used inventory
in the world. It provides an accurate picture of a person's
personality type by determining preferences on four dichotomies:
Extraversion/Introversion:Describes where people prefer to focus their attention
and get their energy from the outer world of people and activity or their inner
world of ideas and experiences
Sensing/Intuition: Describes how people prefer to take in information, focused
on what is real and actual or on patterns and meanings in data
Thinking/Feeling: Describes how people prefer to make decisions based on logical
analysis or guided by concern for their impact on others
Judging/Perceiving: Describes how people prefer to deal with the outer worldin
a planned orderly way, or in a flexible spontaneous way
Combinations of these preferences result in 16 distinct
personality types. Knowledge of your type can help you understand
your way of communicating and interacting with others. The MBTI® Step II (Form Q) instrument, drills
down and details 20 facets of the preferences for more in-depth
personality type understanding. This is an excellent career
development tool since it discusses how you communicate,
make decisions, manage change and manage conflict. This is an effective for individual asessment, leadership development workshops and executive coaching.

16PF
The 16PF Questionnaire is used in a variety of settings,
including employment selection, placement, and development,
and executive and career coaching. This instrument be
helps us as we evaluate suitable jobs and careers,
as well as current job performance. It is an excellent career
development tool as it identifies and predicts specific behaviors. Dr. Raymond Cattell developed the 16PF® Questionnaire to
measure the range of normal personality. Cattell identified
sixteen primary personality traits that describe normal,
adult personality. He further factor analyzed these primary
scales to develop five global factors (often called Big
Five personality traits). The global factors describe the
primary personality traits at a broader level. 16PF is a registered trademark of the Institute for Personality
