PREP Profile Systems
The PREP® Profile System is a series of interpretative reports based upon the theory of “archetypes” that was advanced by Carl Jung. The PREP® is one of a multitude of modern personality assessments, profiles or instruments that uses Jung’s research as a foundation for the categorization of human behavior into preferences or traits.
PREP® is unique among the available tools due to its elegant design and face validity as well as the fact that it has been cross-validated with five established instruments. The tool was created by JoAn Mann, MBA in Bend, Oregon and Dr. John Whitesell played a significant role in the development of the PREP® based tools.
The online survey can be completed in less than five minutes and the validity has been measured to be > .90. The reason for the unusually high validity is that PREP® was based on Jung’s theory that single words with tested, universal meaning could be used to determine an individual’s preferences. A mathematician, Dr. Sam Houston, used regression factor analysis to fine-tune the correlation between word selection and meaning based on the input from the participant, i.e., the online survey.
PREP® results are presented in a 20-page report that highlights the degree of the individual's Usual behaviour preferences across four scales of measurement. Also, the report explains how the person is motivated and their current stress level with recommendations for managing stress.
Applications
PREP® is invaluable as a strengths-based, personal information tool that helps explain how and when the person is most effective as well as suggestions about how the individual can enhance their interpersonal relationships and self-management.
In organizational settings, PREP® can be used for teambuilding, change management or strategy sessions with small work groups, departments or the entire enterprise. Additional applications include:
- Leadership Training
- Conflict Resolution
- Stress Management
- Recruiting & Selecting
- Position/Person Fit
- Career Management
