Introduction to Type Theory
Majors Conversion Course
A New Generation of Psychological Type instruments
For professionals accredited in the MBTI®.
This workshop will introduce you to a group of new instruments available to use with Jungian/Myers-Briggs personality theory. These instruments are all based on the 16 types described by Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers.
In this workshop we will examine
- the structure, administration, scoring and interpretation of the three Majors instruments.
- the skills associated with each of the eight functions, with examples of how they are manifested in the lives of some well known leaders
- Bonus: introduction to the Function-Skills Development Assessment, an instrument that assesses the level of development of each of the eight Jungian functions.
The four instruments:
The Majors Personality Type Inventory™ (MajorsPTI™), is a 52 item instrument designed by Mark Majors. It identifies a person’s natural personality type, giving the same popular four letter type code as the MBTI®. This instrument is used in exactly the same way as the MBTI®, working with individuals and groups for personal or organization development. It is available in a self-scoreable version and an on-line version.
Majors Personality Type Elements™ (Step II). This on-line instrument identifies the personality types giving the familiar four-letter type code and also gives a results on 16 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. This instrument gives an expanded report (15 pages) with more information than Step I.
The Majors Occupational Environment MeasureTM (MajorsOEM™) is a 93-item instrument that evaluates individual differences and the person/environment fit. It is an on-line instrument that gives a 12-page personalized Career Exploration Report. The report provides your clients with valuable information to help them make career decisions that are satisfying and a good fit for their personality.
The Function-Skills Development Assessment™ (FSDA™), designed by Gary and Margaret Hartzler, is a 40 item questionnaire. It assesses how well a person currently uses each of Jung’s eight psychological functions and also identifies possible ‘blind spots’ and areas for development. These eight psychological functions are the foundation of the 16 personality types.
The workshop fee includes:
- Notes on each instrument
- Completion of three instruments, with two computer generated reports
