The Murphy-Meisgeier Type indicator for Children or MMTIC is based on the 60 years of research which is the underlying version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The MBTI, of course, is the world’s most used widely used personality type assessment. MMTIC, the children’s version has been used in schools for almost 25 years. The most recent studies have culminated in the most accurate version of this tool and it has demonstrated high levels of reliability and validity. It is accompanied by a vast array of support materials as well. The child can take the test online or they can take the test through pen and paper means. The reports are actually written directly to the students. There are three different levels of the assessments:
- the elementary, ages 7 to 11
- middle school, 11 to 14 years old
- high school, ages 14 to 18

- What are the results?
It’s going to show the same things that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator does. The results will list how the child gains their energy. Are they an extrovert or an introvert? How is their information taken in? Sensing or intuition? Then, of course, how are their decisions made? Are they thinking or feeling? Lastly, how does the child relate to the outer world or bring things to a closure? Judging and perceiving.
The MMTIC offers a great opportunity for both parents and teachers to have a full appreciation of a child’s personality and preferences. It reduces some conflicts that a child might have with in relationships as well as really facilitating greater success at school and with friendships. This is a wonderful way to improve relationships between children, parents, teachers and administrators as well as anyone else with whom they wish to build relationships.
