Mark Majors holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and Multicultural Studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is the creator of the Core Factors Type Discovery, Type Elements, Career Path, and Career Signals assessments and lead psychometrician for the Social Dynamics assessment. He did the data analysis for the MBTI Form M revision at CPP, led the development of IRT scoring for the MBTI, co-authored the Form Q, headed the Step III research project at CAPT where he served as Director of Research, and wrote the scoring routine for the 1994 Strong Interest Inventory. He is a recipient of the APTi Innovation Award.
Dr. Majors developed Type Elements over more than 25 years to address problems that classical type measurement could not solve: forced-choice formats that produce artificial results, population-level norms that obscure individual differences, and the absence of any instrument measuring the eight Jungian cognitive processes or the barriers that block natural personality expression.
