Personal Style Inventory
Third Edition

A Teambuilding, Inc.  best seller, the Personal Style Inventory (PSI) is a proven and reliable training tool that uses Jungian theory to identify personality types. Revised and expanded, the PSI includes a 32-item assessment (see sample statements), a chart for recording team member personality types, questions for team discussion, and detailed instructions for developing a team profile and conducting a team workshop.

PSI Learning Outcomes:

• Identify preferences towards: Introversion or Extroversion, Sensing or Intuition, Thinking or Feeling, and Perceiving or Judging
• Explore the potential strengths and weaknesses of each personality style
• Understand how each style is likely to affect other individuals and/or team members
• Discover how to capitalize on strengths of others

Newly revised, the PSI consists of a combined Participant Guide (formerly two separate versions), perfect for both individual and team training, and an expanded Facilitator Kit in a convenient 3-ring binder format.
 
What sets the PSI apart?
 
Other Jungian instruments assess respondents' behavior, which can be affected by external factors such as work environment. The PSI captures behavioral preferences, which more accurately measure respondents' personality strengths and weaknesses.
 
The Participant Guide includes a detailed explanation of the 16 different dimensions, ideas for supplementing strengths, a strength/weakness paradox, and action planning.
 
The comprehensive Facilitator Kit serves both the Team and Individual versions. Included in the Guide are tips on interacting with each personality type, suggested training designs, theoretical background, transparency masters, and more. A CD-ROM containing a Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® presentations and other reproducible materials is also included. Order one guide per facilitator.

The expanded Facilitator Guide includes a copy of the Participant Guide.
