Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)® Instrument

What is the MBTI Instrument and what will it tell me?

The MBTI instrument is a personality assessment that identifies and describes your preferences in four key areas of personality:

  • Directing your energy
  • Gathering information
  • Making decisions
  • Approaching life

Your combined preferences result in one of 16 different personality types, each with a description of its own unique attributes, strengths and challenges. 

Over 2 million people take the MBTI instrument every year, using it to help in areas such as self-understanding and personal growth, career development and planning, work and personal life problem-solving, organization development and team building, and relationship counseling.

How does on-line assessment work, and how much does it cost?

Taking the MBTI assessment on-line is easy!

Step 1: After clicking on the “Take the MBTI Now” button below and completing the payment process, you’ll immediately receive the login ID and password for taking the MBTI assessment on-line. 

Step 2: You’ll take the 93-item MBTI assessment on-line in the privacy of your home or office.  The assessment takes about ½ an hour to complete.

Step 3: After completing your assessment, you’ll receive an email verifying receipt of your assessment and arranging your 45-minute phone interpretation session.

Step 4: At your scheduled appointment time, you’ll call our office for your 45-minute personal interpretation session with Patrick Kerwin, MBTI Certified Professional (#C12519). 

The fee for the on-line Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment, your 7-page Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Interpretive Report, and your 45-minute personalized telephone interpretation session is $125.

What should I be careful of when taking assessments on-line?

  • Make sure you are taking the true MBTI instrument, not a look-alike.

When evaluating information on the web, being a careful consumer is essential!  While many other personality “tests” are available on-line, only the MBTI instrument has over 50 years of research on its construction, validity, and reliability, ensuring the best accuracy of instrument results.  Kerwin &  Associates uses only the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator instrument for personality assessment.

  • Make sure your assessment fee includes an interpretation session.

Because the MBTI instrument is a psychological instrument, the publisher (http://www.cpp.com/) and the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics require that every administration of the MBTI instrument include an interpretation session with a qualified professional.  The interpretation session will also help you to better understand and best utilize your results.  Your MBTI assessment with Kerwin &  Associates includes a 45-minute personalized telephone interpretation.

  • Make sure you are working with an MBTI Qualified Professional.

Professionals are qualified to administer and interpret the MBTI instrument by having the appropriate education, or by attending an approved qualifying program.  To help distinguish the skill level of MBTI instrument professionals, the MBTI® Certified Professional designation was created to indicate that in addition to being MBTI-qualified, the professional is held to higher standards that include additional education and practical experience.  All interpretations are conducted by Patrick Kerwin, MBTI® Certified Professional, #C12519.
