MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 6, 2007 – CPP, Inc. (www.cpp.com), an industry leader in research, training, and organizational development tools, announces the release of MBTI®Complete, the genuine Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument available online and packaged with a gold standard interactive basic interpretation. Using MBTI®Complete, HR professionals spend less time interpreting personality assessment results and more time improving organizational performance. This online product boosts training effectiveness by automating training participants’ introduction to personality type.
“MBTI®Complete will streamline deployment of the assessment for organizations currently using the Myers-Briggs tool,” says Jeff Hayes, co-president of CPP, Inc. “It frees practitioners from having to provide in-person interpretations, allowing them to instead spend that time with clients applying type knowledge to their situation. Practitioners contribute tremendous value to clients and work teams with their insight and individualized development counseling. MBTI®Complete enables them to get to the heart of the matter faster.”
“The goal of MBTI®Complete,” says MBTI®Complete author Allen Hammer, Ph.D. “is to fulfill the vision of Isabel Briggs Myers, making the benefits of psychological type available to everyone.”
Available via SkillsOne.com, CPP’s online assessment delivery platform, MBTI®Complete offers a clear advantage to HR professionals and type practitioners who want to focus on applying type knowledge to improve team and individual performance without spending large amounts of time on administering and interpreting the assessment. In cases in which some members of a group already know their four-letter type, MBTI®Complete can quickly bring the remainder up to the same level of understanding.
MBTI®Complete also guarantees that a standard interpretation is delivered to each client, which puts all participants on a level playing field prior to any type application exercise. “Congruent with ethical standards,” says Hammer, “a verification process and a means for checking the person’s understanding of type are provided in an interactive format.”
“Clients who take MBTI®Complete are ready to hit the ground running and start using their results immediately,” says Patrick Kerwin, MBTI practitioner and principal of Kerwin & Associates. “MBTI®Complete allows me to focus a career counseling session or training workshop on the application of the MBTI instrument to address substantive career and organizational issues my clients face.”

About the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Instrument
The MBTI instrument is the most trusted and widely used personality assessment in the world. Participants identify their preferences on four dichotomies—Extraversion–Introversion, Sensing–Intuition, Thinking–Feeling, and Judging–Perceiving—which are then sorted into one of 16 possible four-letter types. Learning about MBTI type helps people in organizations understand and appreciate individual differences and uncover more effective ways to work and communicate with one another.
