OPP

OPP is the platform to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and 16 Personality Factors.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): This is based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. It categorizes individuals into one of 16 personality types based on four dichotomies: extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. These types provide insights into how individuals perceive the world, make decisions, and interact with others. The MBTI assessment provides a single four-letter type code, such as INFJ or ESTP, which represents the individual's preferences across the four dichotomies.

16 Personality Factors (16PF): This is based on the trait theory of personality. It measures 16 primary personality factors, such as warmth, reasoning, emotional stability, dominance, and sensitivity. These factors are used to create a comprehensive profile of an individual's personality, providing a detailed understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and behavioral tendencies. The 16PF assessment provides scores on each of the 16 personality factors, allowing for a nuanced understanding of an individual's personality.

Each person uses these colour energies to varying degrees, though it is the unique ordering of the energies that will shape personal style, and it will show a preference for one colour that will indicate the dominant or preferred style of thinking, working and communicating.

Pursuit NHA can provide facilitators for Insights or lead you through a process which will enable you to become a facilitator with mentoring support.
