The refreshed products will include new and/or enhanced graphics to reinforce key concepts.

7 PAGE 8 FAQ Sheet (cont.) Q What are the companion websites for the Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type and Communication and Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type in Organizations booklets? The all-new companion websites present MBTI type concepts in a dynamic digital format to enhance learning and retention. Each website is intended to be used in conjunction with its corresponding booklet (printed or PDF) and is designed to help individuals explore further the MBTI framework after an initial training. The companion websites complement the booklets with interactive and animated content for increased engagement and comprehension. Q Can I access the companion websites on my tablet or smartphone? Yes, absolutely. In fact, the websites are optimized for mobile devices to encourage learning on the go! Q5 Where do I get the access code to use for the companion websites? An individual access code is included with each Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type and Communication or Introduction to Myers- Briggs Type in Organizations booklet purchased. If you purchased the booklet in print format, you will find the access code on the inside of the front cover. If you purchased the booklet in PDF format, you will find the access code in the footer at the bottom of the second page. Note that each access code is unique and can be registered only once. Q6 Are there expiration dates for the access code? For example, will the code work two years from now? There is no expiration date associated with the access code, but CPP may make business decisions in the future that will affect the availability of the companion website. You can find complete terms of use on MBTItype.com. Should you encounter issues with an access code, simply complete the help form on MBTItype.com and a CPP Customer Relations specialist will contact you to provide assistance. Q7 Can I purchase access codes separately? No. Access codes for the companion websites will not be available for sale. This is to prevent a disjointed and potentially confusing user experience that would result from pairing the old version of a booklet with its new companion website, which features differences in content layout and type language. For most customers, there should be no need to purchase access codes separately since the new version of the booklet (both electronic and print formats) will include an access code free of charge.

8 PAGE 9 FAQ Sheet (cont.) MISCELLANEOUS Will the refreshed reports be available in both reported and verified type versions? Yes. The MBTI Communication Style Report and the MBTI Personal Impact Report are available in both reported and verified type versions. Q I already have access to the companion website for the Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type booklet. Will I also be able to access the companion website for either Introduction to Myers- Briggs Type and Communication or Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type in Organizations? No. You will need a separate code to access the companion website for a different booklet in the Introduction to Myers-Briggs Type series. You can obtain an access code by purchasing the corresponding booklet in either print or PDF format. Copyright 06 by CPP, Inc. All rights reserved. The CPP logo is a registered trademark of CPP, Inc.
