Why Work with Ancient MBTI Info?• These databases are far from ancient• This information is from electronic MBTI results• Most of this data was collected from 2008-2012• On average, occupations are placed on Working Type lists with a confidence level of

93%• The Validity section of the MBTI Manual contains almost 50 pages of continuous score

correlations with a variety of other sources including:Kuder, Strong-Campbell, MMPI, 16PF, Maudsley, ACL, CPI, Kolb and other instruments

• If you believe that the latest “fad” hasn’t been related to the MBTI Instrument, you are probably wrong. Here are a few from the Adjective Check List for Women (Men were only slightly different):

Self-confidence (EN--), Self-control (-S-J), Lability (EN-P), Personal adjustment (---J), Achievement (--T-), Dominance (E-T-), Endurance (-STJ), Order (-STJ), Affiliation (E---), Autonomy (EN-P), Abasement (IF-J), Deference (IS-J)

CAREERS 4 METM

• I sincerely hope that you will consider C4M as a Key Take-Away Tool (works with undecided)

• C4M is a one stop shop for locating and researching Interesting Occupations (for market place or college major)

• If you would like incoming students with a focus on a single college major and five occupations, meet me in the middle by marketing C4M to your feeder institutions.

• Thanks for your attention and please consider me your junior partner in Career Development
