Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® is a self-reporting forced-choice questionnaire designed to make Jung’s theory of psychological types understandable and useful in everyday life. This questionnaire was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs over a 30 year period and the accuracy of the results have been verified over the past 50 years of use. MBTI results identify valuable differences between normal, healthy people, differences that can be a source of much misunderstanding and miscommunication.
Strong Interest Inventory®
The Strong Interest Inventory® measures a person’s interest on a broad range of occupations, work and leisure activities, and school subjects. The questionnaire compares how these interests are similar to the interests of people successfully employed in those occupations.
It is used primarily to help people understand their work interests and to illustrate the kinds of work in which they might feel comfortable.
What Does it Provide?
The computer-generated results provide:
- Six general occupational themes which reflect the person’s overall orientation to work
- 211 occupational scales which indicate the degree of similarity between the respondent’s interests and the common characteristics of people working in those occupations
- 25 basic interest scales which report consistency of interests or dislikes in specific areas, such as computer activities, science and public speaking
- Four personal style scales which measure how an individual likes to learn, work, assume leadership and take risks
