Insight with interpretation
Never a report left on a shelf.
MBTI tools are used within a wider development event or pathway, supported by qualified interpretation, discussion and action planning.
What MBTI is not
MBTI tools are not a Training Needs Analysis, a measure of ability, a mental-health assessment or a prediction of job performance. We do not use type to place people into boxes or to decide what they can achieve.
Participant experience
