Advanced Scoring System

Differential Intensity Weighting™
The MajorsPTI™ does not use a forced choice format for item responses. Instead, the MajorsPTI™ uses levels of similarity to provide clarity of results. By using graduated response scales (somewhat like me, very like me), not only do you receive information about a choice decision (direction), you also have knowledge of the level of similarity between the person and the response (intensity). This new form of scoring is called Differential Intensity Weighting (DIW). The addition of levels in the response format (and the corresponding DIW scoring) of the MajorsPTI™ adds new information that improves the precision of identifying the individual’s natural preference.

Type Precision Module™
In addition to the unique scoring method, the MajorsPTI™ is introducing the Type Precision Module—a clarification step, when necessary, to ensure the accuracy of the instrument and to further help your clients get to best-fit-type. If a client’s preferences are still unclear as reported by the instrument, a second “also read” type will be created for the client to explore.
