What is Psychological Type?


Often after I have given feedback to someone who has taken the MBTI® personality inventory before, the comment is, “Oh, I never realized there was so much more. Thank you, it’s valuable.”

For me, my years with type have been a beckoning path of ever deeper knowledge of human behavior and life itself. This section will introduce you to these rich levels of further understanding.


MBTI - The Five Levels
   
 From the work papers for the design of the Institute for Type Development Qualifying Program. 1983. Katharine D. Myers

Level One:  Introductory - Verifying Your Basic Type
Benefits:  The ‘aha’s’ of affirmation of who you are and insight into those who are different from you.

Level Two: Type Dynamics - The hierarchy of your functions and how they interact
Benefits:  How your mental tools of perception and judging interact to develop the personality that is you.

Level Three:  Type Development - “16 paths to excellence”
Benefits:  A “how-to” model of growth to excellence.

Level Four:  The Jungian Psyche - How type fits into the total picture of your personality
Benefits:  An introduction to your unconscious - that mysterious part of yourselves that is there to help you become more whole and balanced.

Level Five:  Individuation - Carl G. Jung’s Model of Lifelong Development
Benefits:  Jung believed that there is an innate urge to grow along your type-guided path. You can, however, help this development through conscious awareness of the process.
