Educational Eligibility | The Myers-Briggs Company

 

Some U.S.-based practitioners are able to purchase The Myers-Briggs Company products right away by verifying their educational and/or professional license eligibility. Please note that Educational Eligibility is only applicable in the United States. Criteria for becoming certified on our instruments may vary by region and differ from U.S. requirements. Please complete the Global Sales Inquiry.

Our eligibility requirements help ensure that each practitioner fully understands the best and most ethical way to administer, interpret, and apply our assessments—and is able to help produce the greatest benefit each time a tool is used.

If you hold a master’s or doctoral degree in psychology or a related field and/or hold a specific state license or national or state certification (see the lists below), you are considered educationally eligible. This means you are already qualified to purchase and use our assessments.*
