What the MMTIC measures

Like the well-known Myers-Briggs Type IndicatorR instrument, the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for ChildrenR (MMTICT) is a self-report assessment of psychological type. Although the two instruments share the same theoretical approach to understanding personality, first proposed by Carl Jung and further developed by Isabel Myers, they differ in the age groups for which they are designed. The MBTIR assessment is intended for a mature audience, while the shorter, easier-to-read MMTIC instrument is designed for type assessment in children and teenagers (grades 2-12).

The MMTIC has been used with many thousands of children since its introduction in 1987. The new version of the instrument reflects significant improvements in assessment, administration, and interpretation.

MMTIC results give educators, administrators, counselors, parents, teenagers, and children valuable insights into differences in learning styles (how information is gathered and how attention is directed) and healthy social interactions. Type has profound implications for both early learning success and lifelong healthy type development and use.

The revised MMTIC has 43 items (versus 70 previously), ideal for children's attention spans.
