Psychological Type: a self-assessment e-programme
Getting to know your strengths is essential for career
success, and exploring your personal style or type is one of the
fastest methods. There are several ways of doing this – books,
coaching, courses, and.... free internet questionnaires.
So….. why buy ‘Psychological Type: a self-assessment e-programme’?
Even the most researched and validated instrument for measuring psychological type, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, only claims to be fully accurate for 75% of people. That’s why
it's important to have personal feedback from a qualified type
counselor. Free questionnaires on the web are likely to be much less
accurate and can be unhelpful at best, and very misleading at worst.
That’s why we have developed the Psychological Type Self-Assessment
e-programme (PTSA). The PTSA works on the principle that you are the only person who can select a psychological type that is right for you, and that a questionnaire is just one of several steps you can take to do that. Comprising a questionnaire, explanations of all the preferences, and full descriptions of each psychological type, you give yourself the best possible chance of finding the right type for you.
There’s also a section ‘What your type means for work and career’, so you can start using your new insights straight away!
