A WEBSITE CREATED BY TEENAGERS TO INTRODUCE TEENAGERS TO THE MBTI® PERSONALITY INVENTORY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE When people hear their MBTI® personality inventory feedback in midlife, they invariably say "I sure wish I'd known about this when I was younger!" Indeed, the Indicator can be very helpful to young people who struggle to understand relationships with peers, parents, and teachers and who are pressed to make decisions about schooling, work, and careers. Recognizing the need to introduce the MBTI® instrument to today's high-school and college students, the Center for Applications of Psychological Type (CAPT) and the Myers and Briggs Foundation, with initial support from VisionMark™, have worked with a team of students to build a new website designed to appeal to youth. The web design team has developed the site, typecan.com, around the metaphor of a soda machine – their thought being that kids will understand that type preferences are like vending-machine choices, differing but equally valid. The team revised the traditional table of 16 types as circular soda-can poptops, with descriptive phrases in language to which young people can relate. The double meaning of the word "can" runs throughout the site: "Type can change your life." If you want to be notified when typecan.com goes live, please send an e-mail to info@typecan.com.   Other instruments might use the structure and names for the sixteen types but if anything other than the authentic MBTI® instrument was   used the results are not MBTI® types or preferences and should not be presented as such. In addition, a person-to-person feedback    between practitioner and client is important and the interpretation session should be scheduled before the client receives the results. back to top
