CAPT Research supports research conducted by graduate students (under the supervision of qualified investigators) and professionals (academic or practitioner-oriented) who want to explore or investigate their research ideas. Below, we offer an avenue for professionals and graduate students to obtain bulk or additional discounts for assessments, and we also describe some of CAPT’s research activities and collaborations.
Note: Research Services does not provide graduate-level research design, methodology, or data analyses consultation that is more appropriately procured through the researcher’s department or student’s committee.
Assessments for Use in ResearchProfessional researchers and students are often interested in conducting research on type, archetypes and other topics that depend on CAPT assessments. The Research Department is interested in new research that illuminates the constructs underlying these assessments, as well as research into applications of the assessments and ideas in peoples’ lives and work.
For professionals and students who want to request assessments for use in their research, please refer to the instructions below for the assessments you wish to use.
Requests for MBTI® Assessments for ResearchTo request MBTI® assessments for research, you will need to contact the publisher of the MBTI instrument, The Myers-Briggs Company.
Graduate students or professionals interested in research discounts for CAPT assessments can potentially make use of two kinds of discounts: (1) bulk purchase discounts, and (2) requests for further research discounts.
Bulk Purchase DiscountsResearchers who want to use CAPT assessments in their research may take advantage of bulk purchase discounts on two CAPT assessments—the MMTIC and PMAI instruments. This mode of discount is straightforward and does not require an application or completion of a research project description.
If you are a researcher who wants more than the bulk purchase assessment discount for CAPT-published assessments (i.e., MMTIC, PMAI, KGI), you will need to provide a brief project description to potentially obtain a research discount. The project description must include the following:
The CAPT research team encourages and supports research in type and archetypes and at times works with other researchers through various levels of collaboration, dependent on the research study topic, our current research focus, and availability of resources. CAPT is interested in studies that provide validity and applications data for its published assessments, as well as thoughtful studies on the role type and archetypes in activities that encourage human development and the constructive use of differences. Areas of research that interest CAPT, as well as past and current research activities may be found here at CAPT Research Projects.
