Our Mission
The primary mission of the Australian Association of Psychological Type, AusAPT and all APTs, is two fold:
- To expand knowledge of psychological type
- To support the ethical use of psychological type and type instruments
As type practitioners we face an ethical challenge. The modern world
of Internet technology has created general access for the public in
obtaining information about type. At the same time organisations are
very interested in instruments and tools for managing people. Over the
last few years, the number of professionals administering and
interpreting type has increased. These developments have created
concerns for the appropriate use of type instruments and the accurate
and positive interpretation of type scores.
AusAPT encourages all
type practitioners to continue to develop their skills and knowledge in
various applications of type theory. The ethical use of psychological
type means that practitioners are committed to honour and enhance the
dignity and individuality of people.
