Majors PT-Elements™

The Majors PT-Elements™ is an online personality assessment tool that is based on Jungian Type theory. Developed by Dr. Mark Majors, the Majors PT-Elements™ is a 127-items questionnaire that helps you or your clients learn valuable information about their psychological type (common 16 personality types). The Majors PT-Elements™ does not use a forced choice format for item responses. Instead, the Majors PT-Elements™ uses levels of similarity to provide clarity of results and increased precision. The report provides results on the dichotomies of Energy acquisition and distribution, Extraversion (external) and Introversion (internal); Perceiving or attending to information, Sensing and iNtuiting; Deciding or making judgments, Thinking and Feeling; Orientation to living, Judgment and Perception. The reported result for the individual's 16-type indication is given, as well as results on the 32 Elements sub-scales, which illuminate personality differences within the dichotomy or type. In addition, the all new "Elements of Personality Formation™" statements are included in the report which will help you or your clients understand some of the complex ways that they interact with others, and respond to situations. The Majors PT-Elements™ is available to qualified users 24X7 anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.
