Major's Personality Type Indicator (Major's PTI) and PT-Elements

The more well known personality type indicator, the MBTI, uses the dichotomous or forced choice selection method for selecting the 4 letters of the type code. The Majors PTI  and PT-Elements, on the other hand, uses levels of similarity to provide clarity of results. By using graduated response scales (Somewhat Like Me, Very Like Me, etc), 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).
