Function Skill Development Assessment

Author(s): Gary and Margaret Hartzler

Publisher: 16types.com

The Function Skill Development Assessment™ (FSDA™) is a 40-item questionnaire that helps your clients assess their current mental skill level for how they take in information and make decisions (function skill development).

After taking the FSDA™, your clients can finally see how well they currently use each of the eight psychological functions that constitute the foundation of psychological type theory as described by C.G. Jung and Isabel Myers. Knowing function skill development will help your clients:

• Understand which mental skills they currently use effectively
• Identify specific developmental "next steps" for expanding their mental repertoire
• Tap into natural creativity
• Clarify natural leadership strengths
• See blind spots—what they may be missing
• Make better decisions based on this new knowledge
• Communicate needs and respond to others more effectively
• Become more collaborative—valuing and incorporating diverse perspectives

The benefits to you include:

• An inexpensive report of tremendous value
• Easy online administration via the 16types.com® Pro System
• Only 40 questions with an average completion time of 15--25 minutes
• A personalised report with descriptions of each function at each level of development
• Routing of report directly to you for distribution to your client

The report provides one page per function. This report includes snapshots of the eight Jungian functions/processes in terms of five associated mental skills, each of which can be developed. This groundbreaking new approach provides a methodology for understanding our own mental skills.

A page is provided for the perceiving processes and another for the decision-making processes. A self-assessment is provided on each page to give the client a chance to reconfirm the FSDA™ results during the feedback process. Some further developmental choices are also provided for the reader.
