Type Discovery Assessment from Core Factors is a Modern Alternative to the Myers and Briggs Assessment

Temecula, California May 19, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Core Factors, a leader in psychometric innovation, announces the launch of Type Discovery, a modern personality assessment tool designed to identify individuals psychological types using the familiar four-letter code popularized by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs.

Developed for todays coaching, consulting, and HR professionals, Type Discovery delivers the same personality type insights in a more precise and accessible format. It is not a new model, but a significant improvement in how professionals engage with type-based insights in practical settings.

For professionals who use personality type in their work, clarity is essential. Yet many current tools, including the legacy Myers and Briggs assessments, rely on outdated formats that can limit accuracy and user engagement. Forced-choice questions, lack of neutral response options, and vague results often lead to extended debriefs or uncertainty in identifying best-fit type.

As a result, practitioners face a common dilemma: work with a familiar but inflexible tool, or seek a modern alternative that maintains theoretical alignment. Core Factors created Type Discovery to fill that gap; a better mechanism to access the insights people expect from personality type work.

Type Discovery offers professionals a sharper lens for understanding personality, said Dr. Mark S. Majors, creator of the assessment. Weve preserved what works about the Myers and Briggs framework while applying modern measurement practices that improve clarity and confidence in the results.

Type Discovery produces the same 16 types identified by the Myers and Briggs model, also used by David Keirsey in the popular book Please Understand Me, using a more adaptable and respondent-friendly approach. The core 52-item instrument, enhanced by the Type Precision Module, uses adaptive questioning to clarify preferences when needed.

The assessment introduces Differential Intensity Weighting, a rating method that allows individuals to express how strongly each item describes them, rather than choosing between binary options. A neutral response option further enhances response accuracy and participant comfort.

The accompanying Participant Report is nine pages in length, introducing the type preference model and providing a clear overview of the individuals type, based on reported results. It is designed to support both individual insight and group discussions with equal effectiveness.
