Informed Consent-Please read the attached 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” at the VLE session with you. 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!
