According to the Myers & Briggs Foundation, four versions of the MBTI are currently in use: a self‐scorable Form M, a standard Form M (administered as MBTI Step I™ by its publisher CPP), Form Q (administered as MBTI Step II™ by CPP), and MBTI Step III™. In any form, the MBTI consists, at a minimum, of a number of forced‐choice items asking respondents to choose which of two items they feel best describes them. All forms provide respondents with their four‐letter personality type, but the MBTI Step II™ is designed to provide a more nuanced assessment of a respondent’s personality, and the MBTI Step III™ is intended solely for use in one‐on‐one counseling or coaching sessions.

The MBTI Step I consists of 93 items and typically takes about 20 minutes to complete. Scoring the test provides respondents with their four‐letter personality type. To administer the test, potential users are required to become an MBTI Certified Practitioner by completing a four‐day MBTI Certification Program, or by providing verification of credentials, including a Master’s degree or state certification in a psychology‐related field. This instrument and manual have been translated into 20 different languages.

The MBTI Step II consists of 144 items and typically takes about 35 minutes to complete. Scoring the test provides respondents with their four‐letter personality type, along with more personalized description of their preferences through the use of facets of each type. CPP recommends this version of the instrument for coaching, action planning, and team building. It can be administered by individuals completing the MBTI Certification Program.

The MBTI Step III consists of 222 items and is intended for use in coaching or counseling sessions between a client and a practitioner. It provides respondents with their four‐letter personality type, although in the context of a report written to the client in “non‐type” language, designed for exploration through dialogue with a counselor. The Center for Applications of Psychological Type (CAPT®) (2015) requires prospective practitioners of the MBTI Step III to complete their MBTI® Step III Certification Program, in addition to meeting the qualifications of administering the Step I and Step II tests.
