The Personality Type
Inventory
What are Personality Types?
How we continually...
REACT,
LOOK,
DECIDE, and
ORGANIZE
...things
Behavioural responses within
these four characteristic traits
combine to identify
Personality Types.
What can Personality Types tell us?
There are two very
important characteristics
that we can determine by
knowing about
Personality Types
WHAT behavioural functions a
person uses repeatedly and are
becoming more habit forming...
…and in some instances more
importantly...
WHAT opposite behavioural
functions the person is therefore
NOT USING and are being
suppressed into the reservoir of the
unconscious.
What’s the Reservoir all about?
Each behavioural trait has an opposite or alternatebehavioural characteristic.
For example:
Thinking and Feeling are opposite traits for the way we DECIDE things.
However, there’s much more to it than simply looking at one and saying “Objective” or “Subjective”
Consciously choosing one over the other habitualizes the choice and lessens the frequency of the alternate’s performance.
What happens to alternate traits?Two things take place when we use our conscious behavioural traits
• Our choices grow stronger to become more identifiable, and
• Our alternate preferences grow weaker to become more inferior
and less visible within the recesses of our unconscious.
This is a normal process, and when it happens, we are striving to satisfy
our Dominant trait constructively – but we also must endeavour to
separately… eliminate the stresses that provoke our
Auxiliary Reserve © trait to respond openly and negatively.
[Auxiliary Reserve:]
the least developed and most vulnerable trait within the
unconscious reservoir of our personality type.
What differentiates alternate
traits?
The THINKING and FEELING attitudes are alternate
traits for describing the same cognitive process.
What differentiates between them is that THINKING
deals with singular concepts in terms of multiple
outcomes and the FEELING trait deals with
multiple concepts in terms of singular outcomes.
For example:
Thinkers test multiple options in arriving at the best
solution, while Feelers look at situations from the
opposite perspective: by relying on several options
at once in evaluating a new possible solution.

What applications come from
Personality Types?
• Personality Types help to identify predispositional behaviours necessary to better understand a person’s likes and dislikes, wants and needs, preferred styles and characteristic behaviours.
• They also guide people in choosing their vocations and life partners, as well as selecting various other personal interests.
• Organizational Alignment that takes Personality Types into account can mean the difference between each level of achievement from failure to success, and from success to even higher performance.
What does Research tell us?Personality Types in various occupational settings
tell us a great deal about the competencies and
skills required to perform a job.
The numbers of Personality Types within an
occupation ordinarily reflect the degree of
satisfaction with that job.
The combination or “mix” of Personality Types
within an organization absolutely dictates how
attractive the culture will be to the most talented
people with the right Personality Types – and
how consistently productive they will be in
achieving the overall success of the organization.
What’s The Personality Type
Inventory?
The Personality Type Inventory is used to identify both the Dominant and the Auxiliary Reserve traits.
Vocational and Occupational research from various typology sources provide the data for Personality Type preferences.
Personality Type surveys within organizations determine the need and the availability of highly talented individuals who will reach the uppermost levels of performance based on their skill level, cultural fit and Personality Type.
What’s My Type?
High Performance Cultures demand two essentials:
– a constructive working environment in which the Dominant Traits of individuals can flourish, and
– the elimination of stressful conditions that provoke the Auxiliary Reserve trait to focus on weaknesses in the system, unresolved problems, performance anxieties, all scarcity mentality issues…
We hire people based on skills, talents and experience but we nearly always fire people based on personality fit. It's time to use the PTI .
