About Majors PTI™
The Majors PTI™ is a 52-item instrument designed to help facilitate learning valuable information about how you direct your energy, take in information, make decisions and how you orient to your environment. This information reveals how your personality contributes to  many aspects of life including your leadership methods, learning preferences and work/activity preferences.

About Majors PT-Elements™
The Majors PT-Elements is a 127 item questionnaire that helps your clients learn valuable information about their psychological type (common 16 personality types). 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. Finally, the all NEW “Elements of Personality Formation™” statements are given that help your clients understand some of the complex ways in which they interact with others and respond to situations. A professional report page is provided to help you give constructive feedback regarding all of the reported results.

CPP is running a special promotion in response to the free assessment offered on Facebook that got immediate attention from Facebook users as well as from CPP. This assessment initially seemed to be passing itself off as the MBTI as well as “borrowing” graphics from the MTR-i (team role instrument based on the 8 cognitive functions).

Here’s an excerpt from their post….
