Could your relationships
with your colleagues or your friends and family be bettter?
Would you like to know
what REALLY makes you (and those around you) tick?
Are you facing an important
decision in your personal or professional life?
Have you recently been
promoted and you're wanting a real head-start in your new position?
Would you like to be
able to manage your manager?
Is the atmosphere at
work making things difficult for some people to focus on their
work, and therefore affecting the company bottom-line?
If you've answered ANY of the above with a 'Yes' or even a 'maybe',
then the Myers-Briggs profiling tool is exactly what you need. Over
2 MILLION people use the profile each year - it's that powerful
and useful. Even more than all this, we can take teams and departments
(new and established) to a deeper understanding of how best to work
with, motivate, encourage and manage each other.
What will this do
for me?
This will help you understand:
-
the basis of your own personality and preferences in
life
-
how you make decisions, learn, focus your attention, communicate,
view change, manage conflict
-
the kind of team member and leader you might be
-
the kinds of careers and other activities that might attract
you based on what you seek to get out of them
-
how others see you and relate to you on a personal and
emotional level
-
... and much more besides

How can I use the
information I get from this?
Your coach will take you through the results
of your MBTI questionnaire during your one-to-one session
and help you understand the information in the context of
your reasons for doing it. Most often people use it for:
-
enhancing their relationships with others (personal or
work life - it's up to you!)
-
assisting in managing stress
-
managing teams more effectively
-
providing an additional perspective on career or other
life choices
-
appreciating diversity in a more meaningful and positive
way
-
increasing self-awareness and self-esteem
-
... and much more besides

This offer is only open to individuals who are paying from their

now for prices. Also be aware that iceandlemon do NOT offer
on-line versions of the MBTI as this conflicts with the ethical

have can be answered.]

 MBTI
Ethics & Best Practice
Shown below is a summary of the main points of the OPP ethical
and best practice guidelines that all properly trained and
licenced MBTI Practitioners in the EU agree to adhere to.
-
The MBTI questionnaire is categorised as a restricted
psychometric tool by the British Psychological Society
and, as such, CAN ONLY BE USED BY PROPERLY TRAINED
AND LICENCED individuals. Anyone who has not
been properly trained, examined and licenced should
not administer the questionnaire or interpret the
results - anyone who does is acting unethically and
possibly unlawfully.
-
The MBTI tools are to be used for inter-personal
and intra-personal growth and development. They are
explicitly NOT to be used for selection, restriction
or discrimination purposes, e.g. candidate selection
in interviews, team or group member selection for
projects, promotion or redundancy decision-making,
etc. - using the MBTI for such activities is UNREASONABLE
AND UNETHICAL.
-
The MBTI questionnaire, especially when used in
a team context, is ONLY TO BE COMPLETED BY THOSE WHO
ARE HAPPY TO DO SO - i.e. it must be a voluntary activity.
Coersion, bullying or other means of trying to force
an individual into completing the questionnaire is
UNETHICAL.
-
The results of any MBTI questionnaire, i.e. a persons
Myers-Briggs Type, and any discussion around that
IS TOTALLY AND UNRESERVEDLY CONFIDENTIAL, i.e. no-one
else is to coerce or otherwise force that individual
(or any other, including the MBTI practitioner) to
reveal someone's type - only the individual whose
type it is may voluntarily share it.
-
Each completed questionnaire is to be accompanied
by a feedback session, either one-to-one or as part
of a group event, to explain the meaning of the results
and answer any questions. Anyone who offers such questionnaires
without a proper feedback session (a written report
does NOT constitute feedback) is acting UNREASONALBLY
AND UNETHICALLY within the Myers-Briggs framework.
As such, this may mean that some online services offering
MBTI tests may be acting unlawfully, and this also
may apply to organisations that offer MBTI profling
with just a written report sent or emailed to you.

MORE ABOUT THE MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE
INDICATOR
 The
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the world's most
consistently used and preferred personal & leadership
development and team dynamics tools. Based on Jungian psychology
and built and refined with over half a century of research,
it's one of the few scientifically backed tools that is designed
to emphasise and build on the positive aspects of personality
and preference; there are no 'bad' or 'wrong' types, and there
are certainly no assessments of having 'too much' or 'too
little' of a particular trait or characteristic. Instead,
the focus is on understanding ourselves and others and how
we can best make use of our individual preferences for our
own development, whether in our personal or business lives,
and as the basis for building even better team dynamics.
 Additionally,
the MBTI is a very useful model to use when thinking about
communicating and influencing strategies - I was involved
in one case where what was normally a 2-3 hour discussion
around an annual proposal was reduced to 30-45 minutes when
the document and the communication strategy around it were
re-jigged based on the MBTI model.
It's also a very useful tool in our relationships
with partners and spouses, providing a deeper understanding
of each others' way of interacting within the relationship
and the outside world.
There are many other tests and tools out there
but, in my experience, none is as wide-ranging, powerful,
and as deeply researched as the MBTI.
If, after reading this, you'd now like to
know more, phone
or email
to discuss how you will benefit.
