Nov. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Psychometrics Canada, a leading assessment publisher and consultant for the development and selection of people in business, government and education, today announced dates for its complete 2014 Myers-Briggs (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/training.htm) Type Indicator^® (MBTI^®) training program (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/training.htm). The program will be held across Canada, and includes MBTI^® Step I™ and Step II™Certification and a variety of fresh MBTI, 360° Feedback, TKI and FIRO-B advanced workshops.  The MBTI^® Step I™ and Step II™ Certification (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/mbti_certification.htm) program teaches human resource, organizational development, career counselling, and learning and development professionals how to successfully administer and interpret MBTI Step I and Step II assessments and reports.

“With the help of the MBTI assessment individuals can better understand themselves and their team members to improve communication, collaboration and employee engagement,” says Shawn Bakker, Psychologist and MBTI Certification trainer at Psychometrics Canada.  “This leads to more productive individuals and teams.”

As companies struggle with less resources in today’s economy there has been an increased demand on staff.  More and more companies in Canada are realizing that understanding personality type is important for increasing efficiency and effectiveness of staff and teams.
