Are you having trouble finding the best people to fill positions in your organization? Have you hired someone who looks good on paper only to find that they are not suited to the task or your organization?

Understanding someone's unique MBTI® can help keep an interview focused on the key issues. For example, if a person is applying for a programming position that requires great focus on details, the MBTI® could reveal the candidate is not detail oriented. If the most successful programmers in your firm tend to monitor details carefully, you may need to inquire more into this area with the candidate.

If you tested your entire company, you could see certain common personality traits emerge in various jobs. Some characteristics may represent the personalities of the best people in that job, others may be common among the worst. The MBTI® instrument can aid in establishing a profile of an ideal candidate for any job.

All people are different, and you will rarely find anyone who meets 100% of an ideal job candidate, but as you begin hiring and promoting people closer to the profile, you could find better results. "If I only had 10 more people like Sue!" - Now you can evaluate "Sue" and compare new candidates.

Managing Relationships

Some personality types don't mix well with other types. Remember the old TV program "The Odd Couple"? Is your office similar? Can you afford to potentially create "odd couples" or "odd teams"? Using the MBTI® instrument can help to better manage interactions among old and new employees. It can be an indispensable tool in any office setting.
