Assessment Tools

Corporate Coaching Partners are accredited to administer a variety of psychometric assessment tools. The following describes briefly some of them.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator®

The MBTI is the most widely used personality instrument in the world, with over two million people taking it annually.

It is a forced choice, self-report, personality questionnaire used to measure and describe people's preferences for how they like to get information, make decisions and orient their lives. It is based on Carl Jung's theory of perception and judgement and classifies people into 16 broad personality Types. The MBTI provides a simple way of seeing how people are alike and how they differ.

When people are aware of their differences, they can build better understanding and reduce conflict. The MBTI thus helps to improve teamwork and productivity whilst reducing unproductive interpersonal and intra-organizational conflict. Individuals can use their MBTI results to understand their preferred learning styles, evaluate the fit between themselves and their jobs, and better manage time and stress.

Using a newly developed form of the instrument, Form K (First Australian Edition) the Step II Expanded Interpretive Report has now become available. This 24 page Report:

o Helps clients understand an unclear Type preference;

o Shows how two people of the same Type are also unique and different;

o Provides a unique report for each individual - no EIR reports are alike;

o Provides unique tips on enhancement of:
- communication skills
- problem-solving
- decision-making
- change management, and
- conflict resolution

Results from the MBTI Expanded Interpretive Report have proven to be extremely useful input for executive coaching sessions.

PCSI - Personal Coaching Styles Inventory

The understanding of communication styles can forward any conversation between individuals and teams in a powerful and productive way. The Personal Coaching Styles Inventory (PCSI) is a tool for understanding and forwarding communication in a wide variety of contexts.

It has been used by nearly 3000 individuals in a wide variety of organizations. The PCSI was written by executive coaches and uses language consistent with a "coach approach" to working with people. It is the attention to the language of coaching which makes the tool different and unique from other communication style instruments.
