Professional Qualifying Programme in Psychological Type and related instruments, including the MajorsPTI ™ and FSDA™

 

---

 

 

This exciting programme provides training in the theory and
professional application of Jungian Psychological Type Theory and two related instruments, the Majors Personality Type Indicator™ and the Function-Skills Development Assessment™ These instruments are both based on the psychological type theory of Carl Jung and  Isabel Myers. Together they provide a way of identifying the personality type of an individual and also assessing the level of personality development.  

 

 

The MajorsPTI™ was developed by Mark Majors. It gives the same popular four letter type code as the MBTI®, indicating a person’s natural personality type. The MajorsPTI™ asks 52 questions and uses graduated response scales (somewhat like me; very like me). This instrument can be used in exactly the same way as the MBTI® in working with individuals and groups for personal or organization development.

 

 

The FSDA™ designed by Gary and Margaret Hartzler, is a 40 item questionnaire. It assesses how well a person currently use each of these eight psychological functions and also identifies possible ‘blindspots’ and areas for development. These eight psychological functions are the foundation of the Jungian personality types.

 

Participants will also be introduced to the following instruments:

 

Psychological Type and Stress Indicator (PTSI), a new Australian instrument that identifies personality type and some of the causes of stress related to one’s personality type. It gives the same four-letter type code as the MajorsPTI (ENFP, ISTJ etc. This comes as a paper version, scored with templates.

 

Majors Personality Type Elements (Step II). This on-line instrument also gives the four letter type code and, as well,  gives results on 32 sub-scales. These subscales give more detail about the different personality characteristics, and therefore identify some of the differences we find in people of the same type.

 

The Majors Occupational Environment Measure^TM, an instrument developed by Mark Majors that evaluates individual differences and the person/environment fit.

 

Note: All of these instruments are based on the same theory and the 16 types described by Carl Jung and Isabel Myers. The all use the familiar four letter type code (ENFP, ISTJ etc). The theory doesn’t change, but you have a choice of instruments.
