The Questionnaires:

Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential (MAPP ™)

MAPP ™ is a robust 21st century instrument used by an individual to support growth in a personal and/or professional environment by clearly identifying unique potential.
Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential helps to identify personal motivations in several categories, including temperament, aptitude and learning style. The results can guide individuals on a career or personal path, or validate one they are already on. The assessment identifies characteristics that help to indicate a strong motivation to do, or avoid doing, certain things. For example, an individual may be capable of something, but if she / he hates it, and if it were a significant part of her / his daily responsibilities, it might undermine strengths and become a liability.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI ®)

The questionnaire is the most widely used personality inventory in the world and provides an accurate picture of an individual’s “personality type ”.
The MBTI ® measures personality in four major dimensions:

  • Extraversion —Introversion (describes where people prefer to focus their attention and get their energy — from the outer world of people and activity, or their inner world of ideas and experiences)
  • Sensing —Intuition (describes how people prefer to take in information — focused on what is real and actual, or on patterns and meanings in data)
  • Thinking —Feeling (describes how people prefer to make decisions — based on logical analysis, or guided by concern for their impact on others)
  • Judging —Perceiving (describes how people prefer to deal with the outer world —in a planned orderly way, or in a flexible spontaneous way)

Combinations of scores on these dimensions result in a variety of distinct personality types. Understanding characteristics unique to each type provides insight about how a person interacts with others and the world around him / her.
Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)

The TKI provides data on individual preferred modes of resolving conflict: avoiding, competing, accommodating, compromising, and collaborating.
The TKI is used widely in business and industry to help people explore the dynamics of effective conflict resolution. Data from the survey will help participants to enhance their conflict resolution skills and to learn what types of conflict resolution are likely to be most effective in transition situations.
