Facets of Type: Activities to Develop the Type Preferences

Type Theory as postulated by Carl Jung over a hundred years ago is about the psychological growth a person can experience. The facets of a person's psychological makeup can be identified by an advanced instrument originally developed by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs. This unique publication helps the reader to identify and develop those psychological skills that are not as natural to them organized by the facets portion of type theory.

You can now direct your own psychological development!

This approach is particularly useful for people having identifiable problems at work or at home in changing their habits to meet other people's needs and still retain their basic personality.

Gary Hartzler started his work in type as a manager and organization development consultant in 1976. He was on the founding board of directors for the Association for Psychological Type as the vice-president for management and organization development. He was a member of the Myers’ J-team, the research team that first defined the subscales and facets of type. Gary has authored or co-authored six books and many articles on the use of type and type development.

Margaret Hartzler began her work on type in 1977 doing research for her masters and Ph.D. that involved type. With her husband, Gary Hartzler, and Kathy Myers, she formed an organization in 1983 that developed and offered the first publicly advertised Professional MBTI® Qualifying Program. Since then she has facilitated more qualifying programs around the world than any other person. She has seventeen years of experience designing and delivering a variety of training programs using type and has authored or co-authored seven books about how to use type theory.
