The MBTI® Step III is a powerful new tool that goes beyond identifying your client’s type to measuring how effectively that person is using not only his or her type but all of the eight Jungian functions involved in perception and judgment.

Step III is especially designed for those of who use type in working with clients on an individual basis by evoking in-depth conversations about specific behaviors and attitudes related to your client’s goals.

As the MBTI®, Step III uses forced-choice items from Steps I and II plus additional items related to behavioral and developmental scales. However, unlike Steps I and II, the Step III report does not report numerical scales, but rather produces an individualized report of statements that reflect type development in four areas of life:

1. General sense of self in the world
2. People and relationships
3. Work and responsibility
4. Problem-solving.

Statements help focus conversation quickly on both positive behaviors and attitudes currently exhibited by the client as well as possible blind spots and are worded to avoid defensive reactions. The client does not have to understand type for this discussion, though it is important that the professional have a strong understanding of type.

Goals for this program:

• Deepen participants understanding of type development in Jung/Myers’ view of healthy personality
• Explore the impact of work and life decisions on effective and ineffective type development
• Introduce the MBTI Step III and examples of its use.
