Interpreting VIPR Types Relative to Jung-based People Types

 

The sixteen Vocational Interest and Personality Reinforcer (VIPR) Types represent clusters of jobs, which Jung People-Based Personality Types of the same or similar persuasion tend to enjoy doing. The VIPR Type job reinforcers are similar to the personality reinforcer preference tendencies of the various Jung People-Based Types. It is important to remember that MTSP Job Profile Reports do not list all possible jobs under the headings, only those which match the client's post vocational potential profile.

 

It is very important to remember that people can, and frequently do, fill jobs in VIPR Type clusters that are dissimilar to their Jung People Personality Type... this happens all the time... and sometimes works out quite well.

 

VIPR Type Job Clusters are sorted in descending order of Client Values Agreement (VA) to provide clients of the same Jung People-based Personality Type, ordered lists of job matches they would typically tend to enjoy. Put another way, the Job at the top of any given VIPR Type list not only matches client Vocational Potential Profile on the 24 most vocationally significant worker traits, but would also tend to satisfy client Occupational Values and Needs more than any other job on the list, etc., etc.
