I had the pleasure of participating in the 4-week EQ Career Strategist Certification course, facilitated by Cynthia Kivland. The information that Cynthia covered during the course was comprehensive and the resources/coaching tools she so kindly shared were amazing. In fact, the course far exceeded my expectations and I am extremely grateful for Cynthia to have shared both her wisdom and generosity with the powerful coaching tools she granted us access to. I can certainly see how EQ and other coaching tools we covered during the course will support my clients in accelerating their levels of success in the job market and the workplace.

Looking for an affordable, valid, and reliable TYPE assessment that doesn't require 3-5 days of training away from the office and a thousand-dollar price-tag to learn how to use it?

VALUE, VALUE, VALUE! Compare the cost of this training with other Personality Type certifications, which is normally $1225 for four full days of training plus prework. You'll save nearly a thousand dollars plus not miss being out of your office for a week-long training program!

Critics have long contended that type-oriented approaches to personality are too simplistic and often inaccurate. This tool overcomes those limitations with a report that measures 36 additional Facet Scales. Not only can you see Jungian 4-letter personality type, but also the subtle facets, which make up that personality type.

Using Jung's Type Theory as a foundation, the Golden Personality Type Profiler unites Psychological Type, Temperament, Trait, and the empirically supported factor models of personality and generates one comprehensive survey and feedback report.

This online profile asks individuals to respond to 125 behavior-oriented questions, such as how one reacts to various situations. The online survey is very user-friendly and can be completed in about 15 minutes.

Unlike other personality assessments, this profiler is unique in that it:

Is geared toward identifying behaviors

Examines both work and leisure situations

Includes thirty-six Facet Scales within the four Global Scales, allowing individual personalities to emerge

Has an additional Global Scale with two additional Facet Scales, measuring responses to daily stressors

The Golden Personality Type Profiler is available exclusively through Pearson (formerly Harcourt) Assessments. View a sample of the Golden Personality Type Profiler. Your cost to purchase future assessments is only $20.50

Golden Personality Type Profiler training is geared for career professionals, coaches and counselors.
