Abstract	Instruments measuring Carl Jung's (1921/1971) theory of psychological types have been widely used in various counseling contexts, including career counseling, marital and family therapy, and team building. The most popular measure of types, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), was developed by Katherine C. Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, but the MBTI has been criticized for (a) dichotomous scoring, (b) forced-choice response formats, and (c) differential gender weighting of item responses. The authors conducted 2 studies (N[subscript 1] = 207; N[subscript 2] = 894) exploring the psychometric properties of scores from an alternative measure of types, the Personal Preferences Self-Description Questionnaire (PPSDQ). Results suggest that the PPSDQ may successfully address concerns with alternative measures. (As Provided).
