• How do you take in information? – Sensing (S) or INtuition (N)
• How do you make decisions? – Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
• How do you deal with the world around you? – Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

Is this 16 Jung Types training comparable to an MBTI certification or qualification training?

The Bridge Personality training: 16 Jung Types + 4-colors distinguishes itself in several ways from an MBTI® certification or qualification training. Here is a summary of the differences:

• Duration of the training: The Bridge Personality training lasts only one day, as opposed to the MBTI certification, which spans four days. This makes TestGroup's training not only more time-efficient but also more cost-effective.
• Content focus: The Bridge Personality training covers both the 16 Jung Types and the 4-color model. Although both models are rooted in Carl Jung's theories, this approach offers a broader perspective on personality typing.
• Use of the Big Five personality model: When applying The Bridge Personality, you also have the option to use a Big Five report, for example, for recruitment or selection. This option is not available with MBTI.
• Flexibility in reporting: As a user of The Bridge Personality, you can choose which models to include in your report: the 16 Jung Types, the 4-color model, the Big Five, or all of them. This choice is not offered by MBTI.
• Cost: Due to the shorter duration of the training, obtaining a qualification in The Bridge Personality is generally cheaper than obtaining an MBTI qualification.
• Application possibilities: The ability to choose between two models (or to use both) in The Bridge Personality offers more flexibility in how you interpret and apply the test results, depending on the specific needs of the user or context. This functionality is not present in MBTI.

Is this 4-color training comparable to an Insights Discovery accreditation?

The Bridge Personality training: 16 Jung Types & 4-colors may seem similar to an Insights Discovery accreditation course at first glance. However, there are clear differences between the two.

• Duration of the training: The Bridge Personality 16 Jung Types + 4-colors training is significantly shorter than an Insights accreditation, making it also financially more attractive. In just one day, TestGroup makes you proficient in applying The Bridge Personality's 4-color model.
• Combination of 16 Jung Types and 4-colors: What is unique about The Bridge Personality is the integration of both the 4-colors and the 16 Jung Types. Both are rooted in Jung's theories and are thus both included in The Bridge Personality. This offers users a flexibility that is rare: you can choose to work with one specific model or combine both, depending on the needs. There are specific Bridge Personality reports for each scenario.
• Multiple reports: The Bridge Personality offers the option to choose between the 16 Jung Types, the 4-colors, the Big Five, or a combination of these models in the reports.
• Team reports: The Bridge Personality features a team report that includes both the 16 Jung Types and the 4-colors. This capability is not available with Insights Discovery.

The similarity between the 16 Jung Types, the MBTI, Insights Discovery, and The Bridge Personality's 4-color and Big Five personality models:

• The core: All four models - the 16 Jung Types, the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), Insights Discovery, and The Bridge Personality's 4-color model - are rooted in Carl Jung's theories. They focus on personal preferences and how these preferences influence our behavior, thinking, and feelings.
• The history: Historically, Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers took the first steps with the MBTI around 1930. They added a dimension to Jung's original concepts, namely the dichotomy between Judging and Perceiving. Around 2001, Insights Discovery and The Bridge Personality were introduced, with The Bridge Personality being the first modern personality test in the world to combine the 16 Jung Types, the 4-colors, and the Big Five.
• Regarding the measurement method: The MBTI and the 16 Jung Types of The Bridge Personality use letter combinations (e.g., ESTP) to identify the 16 Jung Types. A key detail is that the MBTI uses an ipsative questionnaire, while The Bridge Personality and Insights Discovery use a mix of ipsative and normative questions. Additionally, The Bridge Personality (240 statements) is a much more comprehensive test than the MBTI (88 questions) and Insights (25 statements). As a result, The Bridge Personality's personality measurement is much more reliable, and due to the application of normative-ipsative split technology, there is much less chance of socially-desirable responses.

The distinctive feature of The Bridge Personality: the Big Five personality model

The Bridge Personality holds an extra ace up its sleeve. In addition to integrating the 16 Jung Types and the 4-color model, it also a Big Five personality test. This makes The Bridge Personality exceptionally versatile, ideal for recruitment and selection purposes. While the MBTI and Insights can be used for personal development, they are much less equipped for selection purposes as The Bridge Personality is.
