The MBTI® Step I and Step II reports and other products being refreshed feature a completely new visual design and layout that makes them more contemporary, accessible, engaging, and relevant for the user. Content improvements are also being made to update the language describing MBTI type theory for increased comprehension and usability. The refreshed products will include new and/or enhanced graphics to reinforce key concepts.

Some key products to note are the newly refreshed Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type booklets: Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type, Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type and Communication, and Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type in Organizations. In addition to the improvements mentioned above, these new editions, available in both print and PDF formats, will each offer complimentary access to an all-new companion website. Each companion website is specifically designed to help users continue their exploration of the MBTI tool and reinforce their learning.

For more details on the product changes, including comparisons of the old and new versions of each product, we invite you to refer to these Step I (Part A and Part B) and Step II guides.

CPP is committed to continually improving its products and services based on customer feedback. In this case, we acted on feedback from practitioners seeking to deliver an enhanced training experience. We are confident that the design and content enhancements we are introducing in our refreshed products will make it easier for individuals to understand type concepts and extend their learning after training.

Each complimentary companion website presents MBTI type concepts in a dynamic digital format to enhance learning and retention. It is intended to be used in conjunction with either the printed or PDF booklet and is designed to enable individuals to further explore the MBTI assessment and Myers-Briggs type after their initial training.

The companion website both overlaps and complements the booklet, with content designed for increased engagement and comprehension of more complex concepts, such as type dynamics. Other content is exclusive to the website—for example, the companion website for the Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type (7th ed.) booklet includes a bonus section that focuses on stress management as it relates to each type.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, the websites are optimized for mobile devices to encourage learning on the go!
An access code is included with each purchase of a newly refreshed Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type booklet. If you purchase the booklet in print format, you will find the access code on the inside of the front cover. If you purchase the booklet in PDF format, you will find the access code at the bottom of the second page. Note that each access code is unique and can be registered only once.

No. Access codes for the Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type companion websites will not be available for purchase. This is to prevent a disjointed and potentially confusing user experience that could result from pairing the old version of an Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type booklet with the new companion website, which features differences in content, layout, and type language.

For most customers, there should be no need to purchase access codes separately, because the new version of the booklet (both print and PDF formats) includes an access code free of charge.

No. You will need a separate code to access the companion website for a different booklet in the Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type series. You can obtain an access code by purchasing the corresponding booklet in either print or PDF format.

CPP is committed to continually improving its products and services. As we explore ways to further enhance our offerings, we may decide to refresh additional products. We will do our best to keep you informed of new developments.
At this time we are not planning to translate our refreshed MBTI products into additional languages. However, based on customer use and feedback, we may choose to introduce other language versions in the future. Stay tuned for new information!

There are no expiration dates associated with the access codes, but CPP may make business decisions in the future that will affect the availability of the companion website. You can find the complete terms of use on MBTItype.com.
