MBTI Qualifying Exam

CPP, Inc., the publisher of the MBTI instrument, establishes standards for qualifying to purchase the assessment. To qualify, participants must:

—Be present and participate in all three days of the seminar.
—Pass an objective exam—required, provided and scored by the publisher.
—Complete an exercise in interpreting MBTI results.

The qualifying exam consists of 90–100 multiple-choice questions and is administered in the afternoon of Day 3 of the seminar. Participants must answer 80% of the items correctly to pass. Results will be forwarded to you within three weeks. All the knowledge you need to successfully complete the exam is covered in the prereadings, workshop lectures and handouts. In the unlikely event that you do not make the 80% passing mark, the publisher provides a short-answer retake exam.

To complete the 35 hours of required prework, you must register no less than three weeks prior to start date. Prework materials will be sent via FedEx. If you cancel and are unable to attend, AMA will withhold $120 for materials.
