Your Quick Guide to Understanding Personality Lingo
Does Personality Lingo align with Myers–Briggs?
The Personality Lingo® system is in alignment with the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperaments, Don Lowry’s True Colors, and many other personality systems that trace their roots to Carl Jung’s psychological type theory. Personality Lingo agrees with the standard set by the Keirsey Temperaments for the trait patterns and core values which characterize the four fundamental temperaments.
Is the licensing a one-time cost or an annual cost?
It is a one-time upfront cost to license the Personality Lingo training material.
Does the license to use Personality Training material expire?
No, you get lifetime access to the training material. You may contact us at any time to receive a fresh link to download the latest revision of all training material you are licensed to use.
Do I have to pay a reoccurring cost for participant handouts?
No. Your license to Personality Lingo material comes with duplication rights allowing you to easily distribute training content to your participants.
Can I transfer licenses to new employees that get assigned training roles as others leave?
Yes, Individual, Team, and Corporate Licenses may not be shared but they may be reassigned to employees as roles shift. Each trainer using the kit during the same timeframe must be assigned a license to the training material. Exiting employees (previously assigned license holders) who want to continue teaching Personality Lingo after they leave an organization may purchase an individual license for themselves at 50% off list price.
Do I have to attend in-person training to get certified before I can teach?
Personality lingo was established to meet the needs of experienced trainers looking for higher-quality impactful personality training material that they can use immediately. Certification is not required. The facilitation guide for each kit provides you with proven training methods and activities for delivering the material which you are free to combine with your own approaches.
There is an optional Qualification Exam which can be viewed as a study aid for the Basic Training program. Rather than study the entire Basic Training Facilitation Guide prior to taking the exam, let the exam questions direct you through the study guide. After searching for all the answers to the questions, you will find you have a solid understanding of the styles. The exam questions go in the same order as the guide so you won’t have to hunt back and forth. The exam is divided into four modules so take them one at a time and no worries if you don’t meet the 90% score the first time around, just retake it until you get it.
So, the Personality Lingo program is study-guide based at your own pace?
Yes, each training kit comes with facilitation instructions providing time-tested training methodologies which you can depend on to provide an engaging program. You are also encouraged to facilitate using your own methods. This framework is designed to allow frontline leaders to get up and running as quickly as possible with the least amount of overhead costs for training.
What if I am new to personality training or prefer a more interactive engagement with the material?
Virtual and in-person training sessions may be added-on to your order upon request. Personality Lingo Operations Manager, Cres Woods, is standing by happy to help provide ongoing support by email to answer your facilitation or formatting questions. You may also request a phone call with the author and founder, Mary Miscisin, any time you have questions that cannot be answered by Cres.
What is the difference between the Comprehensive Kits and the Mini Kits?
The Mini Kits are concise toolkits which provide material and instruction for presenting a 90-minute workshop. They are a cost-effective way to provide an introductory session for your team to see immediate impacts. The mini kits also provide experienced trainers with a quick, succinct, and affordable way to supplement their existing programs.
The comprehensive kits offer more in-depth background information on each of the styles, trainers’ tips letting you know what to expect from your audience and how to field the difficult questions, ice breakers, suggested scripting for the slideshow and transitions between activities, and even more powerfully affective activities that ensure your participants remember, integrate, and use the information they learn in the workshop. The Comprehensive Kits provide facilitation material and instructions for half-day to full-day programs. When combined with your own material, they could form the foundation for a week-long program. Each of the comprehensive kits has over 120+ pages of instruction and more than 40 animated slides in the slideshow presentation.
Can I customize the slideshow?
Yes, the slideshow presentation comes as a modifiable .pptx file so you can easily customize the cover slide, add your own slides, or delete slides. The Personality Lingo slides must be used “as-is” in their unaltered format with copyright intact.
Can I add my own logo to the handouts?
Yes, we are happy to assist you with customizing and branding your handout bundle. This includes adding your company name or logo to the footer alongside our copyright information. You may add a custom cover sheet and insert your own pages into the handout bundle.
Can I get support customizing my program?
Yes, you may request a one-on-one consultation with Mary Miscisin, author and founder of Personality Lingo, to walk you through the material and help you come up with a custom training outline that considers your unique situation and fits your needs. Personality Lingo also offers custom development services, from quiz creation to generating handouts and slides tailored to your niche audience.
Can I create my own slides and handouts using the Personality Lingo® personality style descriptor terms?
Qualified Personality Lingo Presenters are granted permission to use the personality style descriptor terms in their own works of authorship without having to submit their work for approval every time they publish. All they need to do is include the following required attribution statement in the footer of their slides or handouts: “The personality style descriptor terms (Connector, Planner, Thinker, and Mover) are used with permission from Personality Lingo.” If you are not a Qualified Personality Lingo Presenter, you may still request copyright permissions to incorporate the Personality Lingo® terms and concepts into your own publications. You must submit a copy of your work for approval. These copyright permissions are granted on a case-by-case basis. We must have copyright permissions on file for you prior to distribution of your material.
Can I get my money back if it is not a fit for me?
Yes! All Personality Lingo® Training Kits and Mini Kits come with a 30-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! That’s right! Try out each exercise, activity, and lesson. Take your time to thoroughly investigate and explore your new training material and if you don’t think it’s worth every penny, contact us within 30 days from the time of your purchase and we’ll quickly provide a refund – no objections or hard feelings.
