The PsychologicalType Indicator (PTI)

Personality

The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI) is a carefully crafted personalitymeasure that is designed to give individuals guidance about theirpsychological type using the scales first presented by Carl Jung. The focusof the PTI is on providing individuals themselves, their managers and thosewho train them, with an understanding of personality and its effect onperformance both inside and beyond the workplace.

DescriptionThe PTI was developed by The Test Agency and first published in 1997.The initial design was based on an understanding of Jungian typology anda range of type indicators.

The unique design of the PTI scoring system provides the key to seeing person-ality type in the context of how personality can be influenced by environment.Conditions that fall outside our natural preference boundaries will be lesspreferred and, consequently, are more likely to be avoided. For example, anindividual with a naturally strong preference for introversionmay find that he or she can cope with one-to-one interpersonal contact, but expressesanxiety about group social settings. This isclearly highlighted by how the PTI displaysand an individual’s results.

Features• Powerful, innovative scoring systemthat highlights the range within whichindividuals are likely to be comfortableadopting different behavioral styles tocope with changes in their environmentand the different life pressures theymight face from time-to-time.

• Simple to use integrated Answer Sheetand Scoring Key with built-in Profile Chart.

PresentationThe PTI is packaged as a Self-ScoringQuestion and Answer Booklet, with anIntegrated Profile Chart. The PTI bookletincludes basic information on Jungiantypology that an individual can compareto his or her results.

This book explores the limitations of traditional evaluationsystems and introduces positive, alternative approachesincluding a new concept, Self-Directed Feedback.

Now you can offer employees all the performance infor-mation they need to grow personally and professionally.

Using forms, questionnaires, case studies, and actionplans, the author presents step-by-step guidelines to makefeedback about the negative side of performance easier togive—and easier to swallow.
