Canadian 2010 MBTI® training dates announced

(I-Newswire) November 3, 2009 - Public Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) training programs will be held across Canada. This includes MBTI Step 1 & Step 2 Certification and a variety of MBTI advanced application workshops. The MBTI Certification (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/mbti_certification.htm) program teaches HR, career, training and organizational development professionals how to professionally and ethically administer and interpret MBTI Step I and Step II assessments and reports.

“We introduced a new program in 2009 and it has received great reviews. Our participants appreciated the reduction in pre-study time as well as the focus on MBTI applications like team building and conflict management, plus it qualifies for CHRP recertification points," says Mark Fitzsimmons, Managing Director, Psychometrics Canada. “With the help of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, managers can better understand themselves and their staff, allowing them to improve communication, employee engagement and motivation. This leads to higher performance and employee retention in the workplace.”

As companies struggle with less resources in today’s economy there has been an increased demand on staff. More and more companies in Canada are realizing that understanding personality type is important for increasing efficiency and effectiveness of staff and teams.

Upon successful completion of the workshop, participants receive a MBTI Step I Certificate and a MBTI Step II Certificate of completion, which enables them to purchase and use all the MBTI Step I and Step II assessments and reports.

The MBTI assessment is a powerful and versatile indicator of personality type used throughout the world in a variety of languages for individual, group and organizational development.
