Gary Hartzler started his work in type as a manager and organization development consultant in 1976. He was on the founding board of directors for the Association for Psychological Type as the vice-president for management and organization development. He was a member of the Myers’ J-team, the research team that first defined the subscales and facets of type. Gary has authored or co-authored six books and many articles on the use of type and type development.

Margaret Hartzler began her work on type in 1977 doing research for her masters and Ph.D. that involved type. With her husband, Gary Hartzler, and Kathy Myers, she formed an organization in 1983 that developed and offered the first publicly advertised Professional MBTI® Qualifying Program. Since then she has facilitated more qualifying programs around the world than any other person. She has seventeen years of experience designing and delivering a variety of training programs using type and has authored or co-authored seven books about how to use type theory.

“Gary and Margaret have done an excellent job of providing concrete and practical steps and exercises for making the ‘facets’ of type understandable and useful in one’s personal development or as a professional working with others with the MBTI® Step II instrument. Bravo and congratulations on the down-to-earth approach.”
