AVMA VLE Assessments
June 2-7, 2009
Ross Point Camp and Conference Center-Post Falls, ID
VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ. You are being asked to read and
sign an informed consent and complete 3 assessments. These 3 assessments each
have a unique set of instructions describing how to access and complete the
assessment along with a link to the actual survey.
In order to be able to "tie" all the information from these 3 assessments
together into one "package" and allow the results to be anonymous, you are being
asked to enter into each assessment a numerical code that you will be given at
the completion of the first assessment, which is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI). To help you remember this code, you are encouraged to enter the
numerical code into the text box called <Access Code for Assessment
Instruments> in the form you used to register and enter your personal
information (see link at left called <Edit Info./Register>
).

Assessment Information and Directions
Thank you for your patience and willingness to take the pre-AVMA VLE
assessments. Each of these assessment instruments has been selected to give you
information that will help you to know more about yourself on both personal and
professional levels as you hone your leadership skills. You will be asked to
take most of these assessments again at a later date to help you monitor the
development of your leadership skills.
The information you provide will be kept confidential and will be used for a
research study about veterinary leadership development. It should take less than
two hours to complete these assessments. If possible, it would be best to not
take them in one sitting. Please follow the directions given for each part of
this page. It is very important to this study and to your full preparation for
and engagement in the AVMA VLE that you complete this process BEFORE you leave
for the AVMA VLE.
Please complete the following steps in the order in which they appear.
Please answer with responses that are TRUE FOR YOU NOW, not
what you would like to be true for you. It will be most helpful to you to be
using valid and reliable information for your self-development process.
Remember, you do not need to complete each of these steps at the same time.
Please complete each of them BEFORE you leave for the AVMA VLE, and print out
what you are asked to print out to bring with you to the AVMA VLE.
If you have questions about these assessments please contact either Drs.
Kathy Ruby or
Susan Seaman.
Again, thank you for taking the time to provide data that will help refine
veterinary leadership development processes.
The three assessments are
numbered in yellow.
Before you take the three assessments:
Informed Consent -
Please read the linked informed consent description and form, print the form,
sign the form, and bring it with you to the AVMA VLE.
#1 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Instrument
(a link to the assessment follows these instructions)
Welcome to the MBTI process! I will be facilitating an “Introduction to the
MBTI” session at the VLE. Please complete the online MBTI assessment along with
the other assessments at your earliest convenience.
The MBTI assessment is a personality tool based on the theories of Carl Jung. It
is nonjudgmental and allows people to gain an understanding of their
preferences, particularly with respect to energy source, information gathering,
decision making, and lifestyle/work patterns. It is widely used by organizations
and helps people to develop an understanding of themselves as well as their
co-workers in order to create and nurture effective working relationships. Over
60 years of research and development have demonstrated its reliability and
validity.
It should take approximately 20 minutes to complete the assessment online. You
should complete the assessment privately. The MBTI should be answered as
honestly as possible, with an "at-home, kick-your-shoes-off, this feels like me
most of the time" response.
The MBTI assessment produces 16 different personality types, each with its own
characteristics and strengths. There is no assumed right way to be and there are
no right or wrong answers. Final results will be shared in our session but your
responses to these questions will not be shared. Work quickly (your first
response is usually your best response). You don't have to answer all questions,
but please try and answer as many as possible.
You may wish to print these instructions to help you with the online assessment
process. Enjoy!
