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.
