I'm certified!

No, not certifiable, certified!

I finished my MBTI workshop this morning and took my exam. I don't know the official grade yet, but I was told that I passed! Now I can start using it with clients to help them really understand communication issues, as well as in coaching. There's actually so many uses for it! My instructor was the CEO of the OKA, and I was told that the going rate for my services is between $1000 and $3500 a day for doing a workshop with clients! With that, I can work one day a week and be pretty set for awhile!

Unfortunately there is a lot of stigma out there about type, as people are using it inappropriately, as it isn't a measurement of trait. It's just a preference tool that sorts people into buckets, but it doesn't limit them to the bucket. What I find fascinating, is that although it does not link to behaviors directly, each type of the MBTI has certain tendencies toward certain behaviors. And they appear and trend over multi-cultural lines!
