Self-Understanding
The theory of psychological type is about the development of healthy personality. Verified results of the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children® (MMTIC®) assessment give the student taking the assessment insight into:
- Approaches for positive interaction with friends, classmates, teachers, siblings and parents
- Reasons why some tasks are more enjoyable and easier to do than others (strengths and stretches)
- Strategies for more effective studying
- Ways to stay focused and energized when faced with challenging tasks
- Managing stress
Academic Performance
The MMTIC assessment identifies a young person's preferred methods for collecting and processing information and making decisions. When individual type preferences are known by both the student and teacher, improvements can be made in many areas, such as:
- Preparation for standardized tests
- Working on team assignments
- Tailoring independent assignments
- Learning to manage deadlines
- Improving study habits
- Approaching homework assignments from a broader perspective
Career and Curriculum Track Exploration
The MMTIC assessment provides a solid basis for:
- Exploring career interests
- Determining a path for college preparatory courses, or other post high school alternatives
- Effective study protocols for the SAT and other standardized tests. (There are many books and informational resources on the topic of psychological type and career choice. See Looking at Type® and Careers)
Emotional and Behavioral Growth
The MMTIC assessment promotes awareness of and appreciation for diversity. Awareness of type differences helps:
- Bridge communication and conflict issues with other children and adults
- Develop appropriate self-management techniques when outside forces are creating difficult situations
Note: School advisors and counselors can order an MMTIC® Professional Report to gain a better understanding of an individual student's behavioral and and/or academic challenges.
