Career Dimensions uses
several assessment tools
to assist in the evaluation of each
client's skills, interests, personality traits, values, working
conditions and leadership learning and communication styles.
Myers Briggs
Type Indicator® (MBTI®)
|
|
After more than 50 years, the MBTI
instrument continues to be the most trusted and widely used assessment
in the world for understanding individual differences and uncovering new
ways to work and interact with others.
This instrument is based upon Carl Jung's eight personality
types and how they combine to form a variety of approaches for
communicating and decision making. Your MBTI has a tremendous influence
on the careers, people and cultures that will be compatible with your
strengths and preferences. |
Career Dimensions uses the MBTI in many of
our programs:
Career Change - Identify the skills,
decision making style and environment that are part of an ideal job
description. Explain how your communication type will mesh or
conflict with others.

style as an important component of a successful interview. Learn how
to adapt your style to your interviewer's. Ask questions to
determine if your Myers Briggs type is a good fit for the
organizational culture.

Briggs Type to find friends and activities that are compatible with
who you are. Understand why you and certain people just don't get
along. Improve your relationships by adapting your type to theirs.

how your communication and decision making type affect your
relationships with management, peers and subordinates. Learn how to
ask for what you want by matching your style to the persons you must
influence. Design a career path that will take greatest advantage of
your inherent type.
