Using Type As A Professional

"If you don't know what an extravert thinks, you haven't been listening. If you don't know what an introvert thinks, you haven't asked them!"
Isabel Briggs Myers
Versions of the MBTI® Questionnaire

There are currently four distinct forms of the MBTI® questionnaire. Each one is different in its use and scoring.


Form M (93 items).The current standard form of the MBTI® assessment and is scored for four-letter type and the preference clarity indexes. Online administration and scoring is available through the publisher, The Myers-Briggs Company. Computer or template scoring is also available.


Form M self-scorable (93 items). The current standard self-scorable form and is scored for four-letter type. The preference clarity indexes may also be calculated. It is hand-scored by the individual taking the Indicator, or by the professional.


Step II™ Form Q (144 items).Used to generate a four-letter type and scores on twenty facet scales, with five facets in each of the four primary MBTI dichotomies. The facet results highlight individual differences within type. Used when in-depth individual feedback is needed (e.g., coaching, counseling, executive development, relationship counseling).


Step III™ (222 items). Designed for anyone who wants to increase awareness about the specific and unique ways they use their type in making life choices. In-depth sessions with a trained Step III professional help the client gain insight necessary for becoming more effective in the natural use of their type. The MBTI® Step III Interpretive Report is written directly to the client using "non-type" language. The counselor helps the client process the statements generated to address their current level of self-confidence, approach to difficulties, sources of enjoyment, and more. The Step III instrument and Interpretive Report are available for purchase and use only by professionals who have successfully completed the MBTI® Step III Certification Program.
