MBTI® Step III™ Certification Program

PROGRAM ESSENTIALS


Class Overview

The MBTI® Step III™ instrument completes Isabel Myers' extensive work on type development, an aspect of typology that she began to study quite early in her development of the Indicator. Myers' overriding goal was not only to give people access to their Jungian type but also to help them make the most effective use of that type—to develop their type as fully as possible.

Myers' extensive research was studied, tested, and enhanced by a team of type experts. The result is the most highly individualized interpretive report available for assessing healthy personality. The Step III instrument is suitable for users skilled in one-to-one client interactions, such as counselors, therapists, and coaches.

The goal of the MBTI® Step III™ Certification Program is to give participants sufficient knowledge of the Step III approach, as well as experience with report interpretation, so they feel competent and confident as they begin to use the report with clients.

The “5 for 5” Scholarship Program

Katharine D. Myers, Co-Guardian of the MBTI assessments, is funding a grant program called “The 5 for 5 Program”. Katharine will refund $500 toward the cost of MBTI Step III certification tuition in exchange for using the assessment with 5 clients within 5 months of the certification program and obtaining 5 client evaluations of the assessment for the Step III data bank.

Attendees to the program will receive the forms for tracking the five clients, and after successfully completing both the certification program and the “5 for 5” program, participants will receive the $500 grant—a significant reduction in the cost of the training.

  • The underlying assumptions of type development theory and the Step III instrument

  • The nature and definitions of the scales and patterns that form the basis for the statements and suggestions included in the Step III™ Interpretive Report
  • How to use dialogue as the centerpiece of the interpretive experience
  • Ways to consider the client's personality type as a context for interpreting the Step III report

Tuition includes:

  • All required course materials are included with tuition, including the MBTI® Step III™ Manual. Due to the amount of pre-work we recommend that you register at least 30 days prior to the start of the course.
  • After you have completed your own Step III questionnaire prior to the workshop, you will receive an individual Step III phone feedback session with a Step III professional. This will be arranged through CAPT and will take approximately 60-75 minutes. This feedback session is critical to the training and must be completed before you arrive for the onsite program, so please allow for this in your preparation time.
  • Two free Step III booklets and five free answer sheets
  • Certificate

In addition, participants will be able to practice what they have learned in a variety of exercises, one-to-one interactions, and group discussions.
