	"Whether people first hear about the two kinds of perception and two kinds of judgment as children, high school students, parents or grandparents, the richer development of their own type can be a rewarding adventure for the rest of their lives." –Isabel Myers

	CAPT training programs include the MBTI® Certification Program, as well as applications of psychological type.


	Research and the MBTI® Tool

	The MBTI^® instrument has been the subject of thousands of research projects studying the links between personality type and different aspects of life. The Center for Applications of Psychological Type™ (CAPT^®) maintains the largest single collection of research about the MBTI instrument in the world. (In the 1940s and 1950s, Isabel Briggs Myers first recorded her research notes on thousands of index cards, which are now part of the archives at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.) If you are interested in pursuing research involving the theory of psychological type and other Jungian concepts or if you need Selection Ratio Type Tables (SRTTs), contact the Center for Applications of Psychological Type by , or by phone, 800-777-2278.
