CAPT is a not-for-profit organization cofounded in 1975 by Isabel Briggs Myers, developer of the MBTI instrument. The publisher of the MBTI® instrument, CPP, Inc., has developed an interactive online delivery system for taking the Indicator called MBTI® Complete. This approach allows for the verification of type preferences as the individual is answering questions. Because of the interactive nature of the system, person-to-person feedback from a qualified MBTI practitioner is not required. To take the MBTI® Complete, go to www.MBTIComplete.com What to expect when you take the MBTI instrument: You fill out a multiple choice questionnaire either in paper form or online. There are no right or wrong answers. The MBTI instrument is not a test. You select the answers that best fit for you. Results are most often given in person or by phone through an interactive feedback discussion with a qualified practitioner. An interactive feedback discussion with a qualified MBTI practitioner allows for personal interpretation that enhances the understanding of MBTI results. When taking MBTI Complete, the self-guided feedback system has been designed to help you understand and verify the accuracy of your results. A follow-up conversation with a professional is suggested but not essential. Scored results come in the form of an MBTI Profile Report that is either delivered via the web or given to you in printed form. This report is confidential confidential and is treated accordingly by the professionals who deliver the report to you. People who are qualified to administer the MBTI instrument are committed to using it in an ethical way, which includes protecting your confidentiality, showing you how to verify your type, giving feedback interactively, and presenting all types as valuable.
