Feedback on the Myers Briggs Type IndicatorTM MBTI

Excellent method to pinpoint areas of personal growth and broaden the skills to understand and best deal with characters different from your own.

The reports were great, I have taken the MBTI several times over the past 20+ years and never has the feedback been as helpful as this. Denise, you have given me a better understanding of how my temperament affects both my business and personal life. I believe your personal touch and the explanation of the "MBTI Step 2" has made the difference because of better identifying my strengths and my weaknesses. I really enjoyed when you showed me how I can use the personality traits that are not dominant (traits) to better communicate and make decisions. Very interesting stuff and I find myself already using it in practical application. Sound like an INTJ don't I?" Bill Robertson, New Mexico, USA

Learning more about my personality has been crucial so that when I get to the stage where I properly start considering my first career step I will be able to use that information to help me choose wisely. Lisa Williams, Gloucestershire

The best insights for me were regarding my personality and how this has raised my self awareness to a new level. This will prove invaluable both in the workplace but also in my personal life. Alex Wilson, London

Good to have a chance to ask questions about the reports. It clarified the results making it more personal.

"Thank you for helping me to understand and find out who I am. Before I had never thought of who am I? How am I? And I never knew that it was so important. But now I do. I did do the Keirsey test a few weeks ago but it didn’t help me. The MBTI Step 2 report was much deeper and much detailed and that helped a lot. I think that your feedback call Denise, helped me to identify my strengths and weakness even better. I actually don’t want to call it a feedback call. I want to say it was a consultation call. You helped me to realize who I am, how I can use my strength in my life. I was confused before because I don’t like my day job and I didn’t understand why but now I have been making some changes and I am making progress.

The consultation and the reports have made me understand which career paths suit me. This was my biggest problem before. I don’t want to make it sound like a bragging but after the reports and the call I have been a happier person, because I am using my strengths and trying to make my weakness better". Mehmet Onatli, Sweden

I found our sessions very enjoyable and informative. You are easy to talk to. I particularly liked the way you allowed me space to explore my own thoughts, as well as guiding me gently back to the subject at hand if I strayed too far off on a tangent! John Walters, Berks

I thought the Personalized report of the MB Assessment was excellent. I got a lot of very insightful tips on maximizing my relationships (business and personal) and productivity which is sure to improve my business's. In fact, it was so complete that I thought the personal one-on-one session with Denise would mostly be a waste of time.  Little did I know what I did not know. The personal session with Denise filled in a lot of gaps and answered questions I did not even know I needed to ask. Suddenly, things that I had read had a whole new level of meaning and understanding. I highly recommend that you add the personal one-on-one session to the assessment. Denise really helps you complete the picture. Paul Stork, USA

Denise really helped me to understand more of who I am. She has the patience to make sure I "got it" and knew what to do with the feedback."  Anna P, London

Feedback on the Highlands Ability Battery 

Thank you for your help and support and I am sure that completing the Highland Battery helped to give me the confidence to aim for such a senior position. It's amazing how much others see in you that you don't see for yourself! Jo Hall, Worcestershire

Thanks for the report. It is quite a revelation! My wife and I have both read it twice. It explains so much about me that I only half understood before. Andy Richards, Worcestershire

"Some of the Highlands Ability report made me smile as I knew them to be true, and others made me realise why I don’t enjoy things at work. Being a specialist really gets to me when people don’t accept that I am right. I want them to understand that I know what I am talking about. I’m an introvert; and being honest I don’t really want to work in a team, I prefer t work on my own piece of work and have a team to back me up". Jacki M., Cheshire

Taking the Highlands Ability Battery was a useful, practical way to get some external guidance when you are perhaps too bogged down in the complexities of identifying career decisions. Definitely helped to re-energise my thinking. Dominic Ball, Gloucestershire

Felt as if we were just sitting down together for a chat! You come across as very approachable, and have a lovely melodious voice, which just imparts confidence!! Paula Mason, Nottinghamshire

Highlands test in particular was extremely helpful in revealing some latent abilities which I hadn’t recognised in myself. The greatest revelation for me was that I would be capable of succeeding in a number of fields. It was helpful both to have explore possible careers which I had already thought about and to be presented with some entirely new ideas. Frances Clemson, Staffordshire

What might you say to others about this session? I learned more about myself than I thought possible from the tests. The HAB and the debriefing session afterwards opened my eyes to who I am, why certain elements of my current job frustrate me and some potential future options many of which I hadn’t previously considered. I now understand which of my abilities will always need to be used and why. Helen Moon, Wiltshire

I now have a better understanding of where my abilities lie which has helped me to understand why I feel about my current job the way I do. It has also helped me to identify areas where I need to do something different (either inside or outside of work) to ensure that I am fulfilling my potential. Dominic Ball, Gloucestershire

I have found the results of the Highlands useful when thinking about my present and future jobs.  I would definitely recommend your service to other people. I found it illuminating, informative and excellent value for money. John Walters, Berkshire

I now feel so good about myself, I feel empowered (after taking the Highlands Ability Battery) Nicole Anderson, London

Denise really helped me to understand more of  who I am. She has the patience to make sure I "got it" and knew what to do with the feedback."  Anna P, London

I liked your approach a lot, very informative, but also tailored it to me, by asking questions at the right points to focus my thinking on how I would apply what I was learning. Lots of learning, but most importantly that abilities are just part of the picture and that what I’ve learned doesn’t mean I have to start from scratch. I can adapt what I do now to make it more effective and enjoyable for me. However, there was so much I could do, there is a lot for me to take in now and use. I can see why you offer the follow up coaching as well, there is just so much. Unlike other assessments which are largely about self assessment I "believe" this one. I really feel that I can make a difference based on what I have learned. I value the results highly, and am very pleased that I took it; however, a large part of this was your excellent approach in the feedback. Marie W, Northants.

Doing the Highlands with you is definitely one of the best choices I have ever made. I think everyone should do it, young and old, just for the sake of self-understanding and acceptance. Same goes for Myers-Briggs. Andrew, Cheltenham
