Step II Facets and Type Development: A Distance Learning Program

Margaret Hartzler, PhD

Two core concepts of Jungian psychological type theory are the psychological functions he described in Psychological Types and the process of differentiating them that has become known as type development. The MBTI Step II was developed to provide respondents with more detail (more differentiation) about their functions and attitudes within the structure of the MBTI.

This distance learning program is structured to provide direct Internet communications with the trainer for both the knowledge and the application/experiential components and will offer MBTI Certification Program CEUs.

Objectives:

1. Increase participant knowledge of the forty MBTI Step II facets.
2. Increase participant ability to consciously use more of the forty facets.
3. Develop and demonstrate an ability to use the forty Step II facets with your clients, either in one-on-one or group settings.

Course materials provided:

1. Facets of Type: Activities to Develop the Type Preferences by Gary and Margaret Hartzler

Curriculum:

Complete the self-selection process incorporated in Facets of Type report.
1. Using your-self selection scores write a summary report of your analysis of your ability to use each of the forty facets. Special attention should be paid to those skills that were difficult to understand.
2. Commit to specifically work on developing skills related to two of your non-preferred facets.
   1. Chose appropriate activities from those provided in Facets of Type that you will use to work on your type development.
   2. Modify the activities to make them more applicable to you, but not to change the focus of the activity. Document those modifications.
   3. Perform the activities. Some activities may have to be repeated multiple times until you believe you have increased your abilities.
   4. Keep a record/journal of your activities, what the results were, and any affective experiences you had.
3. Pass a test on your knowledge of the forty facets.
4. Demonstrate your ability to apply your understanding of the forty facets. There are two choices. One is to work one-on-one with at least two clients and the other is to conduct a workshop for a group.
   • For one-on-one: Administer the MBTI Step II to at least two clients and give feedback. One of your sessions needs to be taped and sent back to trainer for critiquing. Each client should work with you to develop a plan for working on his/her type development. You should document your own performance in each session and forward your report to the trainer.
   • For group: Prepare a workshop outline that includes having the participants take the Step II, educating the participates on the forty facets, going over the Step II results, and working with them as they decide what skills they need to develop and how they are going to go about doing this. This outline should show the resources you are going to use (power point slides, books, etc.), flow and description of activities. Completed power points (overheads) will be sent along with the outline to the trainer for review and suggestion prior to delivery of the workshop. Any changes necessary will be made. After delivery a critique of the design and delivery will be sent to trainer.
