See sample reports of some of the assessments we use.

MBTI© Step II -The Step II Interpretive Report offers Step I (four-letter type) results and describes in detail your four-letter personality type. Next, Step II facet results are displayed graphically. Personalized text explains your results on each of the 20 facets.

Step II results are then applied to four important components of executive development: communication, change management, decision making, and conflict management. The report describes your style in these four areas and suggests ways of using this style more effectively.
