About the MMTIC® Assessment

"There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens
and lets the future in."

- Graham Greene

Like the well-known Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument, the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children® (MMTIC®) is a self-report assessment developed to measure psychological type preferences.

Although the two instruments share the same theoretical approach to understanding personality, they differ in the age groups for which they are designed. The MBTI assessment is intended for a mature audience, while the shorter, easier-to-read MMTIC instrument is designed for type assessment in children and teenagers.

MMTIC results give educators, administrators, counselors, parents, teenagers, and children valuable insights into differences in how they learn and engage in healthy social interactions. Type has profound implications for both early learning success and lifelong personal growth and development.

The MMTIC instrument can only be administered to children by adults who have been trained and/or approved through the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, the publisher of the MMTIC assessment.

Teachers, consultants, and other qualified users have access to a comprehensive administrative interface that provides:

• An easy to use delivery system that accommodates multiple classrooms from large school districts to an individual administration with a single student
• Important downloadable support materials that insure the ethical administration of the assessment, including the MMTIC® Manual, at no additional cost

The MMTIC assessment is delivered:

• Online. Any child who has access to a computer and the Internet can enter responses online. Once scored, reports can be downloaded by an authorized adult, including administrators, teachers, school psychologists, or guidance counselors.
• Paper answer sheets. Designed for use with groups of children, or one child at a time. Answer sheets and assessment booklets can be purchased or downloaded, depending on the method by which the instrument is scored.
  
  MMTIC® Key-In Answer Sheets allow students to record their answers on a paper answer sheet, whether they have seen the questions on a computer screen or from a printed instrument. The teacher or facilitator then enters these answers into the MMTIC® Facilitator Interface, thus the name "Key-In." Online administrations must be purchased for key-in scoring.
