Taking the MBTI^®Full Assessment

Here’s how it works

Thank you for your interest in taking the full MBTI ^® assessment.

You will probably have already looked at the simple personality quiz on the How To Change Careers website and looked at the information on the site and may have read more in the ebook, Know Your Personality, Know Your Career.

Both of these sources of information will have given you some insight into your personality and a good introduction to the MBTI^® tool and will have probably whetted your appetite for more!

As a careers professional, I trained to use the MBTI ^® instrument with the UK based Oxford Psychologists Press and I use their online services to give you access to the full MBTI^® assessment.

You will be emailed a much more detailed questionnaire to complete. It is divided into 3 sections and has 88 questions in all.

All the questions ask you to select between two options. Your responses to these 'forced choices' helps to narrow down exactly where your preferences lie.

You will probably find it difficult to choose with some of these, but I suggest you always try and make your best guess.

It is important to answer the questions as you instinctively respond, and try to avoid giving the answer your think you 'should' be giving, or how you would like to be. This is about getting at the real you.

When you receive the questionnaire from me, you should save it onto your computer. When you have some quiet time to do the questionnaire thoughtfully, open it up and use the Select button to make your choices for each question. Save it again and then email it back to Oxford Psychologists Press (OPP) using the address you will be given.

You should get a reply within 30 minutes to indicate that your questionnaire has been received.

OPP will generate your personalised report from your responses and they send it to me first of all and I then pass it on to you.

You will receive a 10 page report that has been produced specifically for you from the responses you gave on your questionnaire.

The focus of the report is how your type preferences will relate to the way you operate in work environments.

The report includes:

An explanation of your personal MBTI^® assessment results.

A description of your preferred work style.

An indication of:

• What you contribute at work
• What your leadership style is like
• What kind of work environment you will be more comfortable with
• Your preferred learning style
• The challenges and pitfalls that may arise from your preferences
• Suggestions for personal development

In relation to each letter of your type:

• Your work preferences
• Your communication style

Information about the impact of the order of your preferences – which ones are dominant and how stress can draw out your less preferred behaviour patterns.

Details of how type will influence your approach to problem solving - very relevant to career change and job search!

The full assessment has been developed by qualified occupational psychologists and has been tested rigorously over many years.

It means you can be sure that the questions are well designed to measure your personality preferences and you will get an accurate and informative result.

The results are generally pretty true to life, and most people taking the MBTI^® assessment agree with at least 3 out of 4 of the preference types that are reported.

With the results of a full MBTI^® assessment, you can be confident that you are using an accurate assessment of your personality as part of your overall career change planning.

But remember that the results will depend partly on the way you respond to the questions. If you complete the questionnaire in a hurry without much thought, then you are less likely to get an accurate reflection of your real preferences.

At the end of the day, the best judge of your true personality will always be you!

The cost of the full assessment is £75 (approx 119 US dollars or 83 euros)

Click the PayPal button below to make your secure payment. You can pay from your PayPal account if you have one or you can use your credit card.

You will then be taken to a page confirming your payment and asking you to send your name and primary email address so I can send you your questionnaire.

When I have received both your personal details and your payment, I will email the questionnaire to you with full instructions on how to complete it.

You return the questionnaire to OPP as explained above and I then email the report to you as soon as it is ready.

The MBTI^® Interpretative Report - Type in Organisations and the information on the this website give you a good insight into your personality preferences based on MBTI^® assessment.

If you would like to discuss your results in person with me and explore how they can impact on your career change plans, please contact me using the form below.
