iTYPE Personality Consultant Certification

A blended learning format for the inquisitive and practice-oriented

iTYPE is a perceptual and objective person­ality test that allows HR experts, trainers, and coaches to detect the strengths of their co-workers or clients. Our iTYPE certi­fi­cation prepares trainers and coaches for using the iTYPE Profilers. During this blended learning program, you will obtain deep knowledge of the different Strengths Profilers. You may employ them success­fully according to your client’s needs or within your organi­zation to analyze the devel­opment of your co-workers. If you’re looking for a quick and easy test that’s affordable and culture-independent, then consider becoming a certified iTYPE person­ality consultant.

When you become certified, you will obtain deeper insight into the measurement procedure and how to interpret the iTYPE approaches. Having this knowledge is one of iTYPE’s main advan­tages. You can confi­dently use this infor­mation in your training, coaching, or even during the hiring process. From leadership devel­opment and sales training to relationship design and conflict management, iTYPE can be used for various topics.

The certi­fi­cation process consists of a pre-webinar and a two-day in person workshop. During the workshop, you will learn about iTYPE’s background and the psycho­logical models it is based upon. Relevant exercises and group discus­sions will help you develop concepts that you can use in your work environment.

The certification process as a blended learning format

Initially, you will be given access to elaborate your own iTYPE profile, which will then be evaluated with a phone call or virtual meeting.

Pre-webinar

• “The power of perception – on the laws of design, bases of construction and things WORTH noting on visual perception”
• This webinar is meant as an intro­duction to iTYPE and to acquaint you with the Strengths Profilers and their backgrounds.

The two-day certification workshop

The two-day certi­fi­cation workshop prepares you to use iTYPE in coaching and training activ­ities. It starts with a presen­tation of iTYPE‘s perception-based procedure levels. You will learn how the 16 different person­ality profiles are composed and how they interact in the context of commu­ni­cation, conflict, and personal inter­re­la­tions. Together with the certi­fi­cation group, you will work with your own person­ality profiles to under­stand the differ­ences of the different personalities.

Then, we will show you several appli­cation-oriented case studies and teach you about Prof Dr Julius Kuhl’s PSI theory behind them.

Another essential element of the certi­fi­cation process is learning how to use iTYPE for devel­opment and training. We will present to you a series of exercises and methods to show you how to success­fully integrate the iTYPE Strengths Profilers in your concepts.

You will learn

• what is behind iTYPE – its historical and theoretical backgrounds
• the neuro­sci­en­tific and neuro­bi­o­logical findings underly iTYPE
• how the iTYPE Types Profiles are designed and how it's different from other person­ality tests
• the differ­ences between iTYPE person­al­ities and how to use these findings to commu­nicate with different types
• how to interpret the Types Profilers’ incli­nation profile
• the iTYPE’s benefits and possi­bil­ities of employment
• how to explain and employ iTYPE in your coaching
• how iTYPE enriches your training concepts

At the end of the workshop, you will receive 10 free TANs in order to get first experience in evalu­ating the profiles.

Also included with your certification

• the training set containing presen­ta­tions, training guide, exercises, partic­i­pants, and acqui­sition documentation
