I first became accredited in a very well known personality typology instrument called Myers Briggs Type Indicator, which has been extensively used since being first released in 1948 following the work of Carl Jung in the early 1900s. 

I have subsequently procceded down the a accreditation path in the Hogan Assessments suite, which is more directed as a selection and development tool in the business environment.

Both instruments have their uses depending on the needs of the relevant individual and organisation.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator

The MBTI focuses on a 8 preferences all humans have - whether slight or very clear. For instance:

• do you gain your energy through the outer world of people, events, activities and things (Extraversion) or the inner world of ideas, thoughts, feelings and impressions (Introversion)?
•  do you gather information through focusing on past or present experience (Sensing) or do you focus on patterns, possibilities and the meaning behind ideas (Intuition)?
• do you make decisions using logic, laws and principles (Thinking) or based on your values and the impact on people (Feeling)?
• do you deal with the outer world in a planned and organised way (Judging) or in a spontaneous and flexible way (Perceiving)?

Each of these preferences can be an indicator of your personality using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).

I am qualified to administer the MBTI having completed training through the Institute of Type Development in Sydney in 2007.  Please click here to find more about the MBTI.
