months) 2/3 of people get the same reported results if a preference
changes = slight PCI Psychometrics Study: 5-10 years: Has your
typed changed? 84% reported that their type had not changed over 5
years 73% reported that their type had not changed over 10 years *
CPP states preferences are more pat to be reported differently as
time interval becomes longer (Myers, 2003)

revisions todaydidnt think people would want to be told who they
were, so she created the instrument to work within a specific
process for interpreting the results. -CPP; JaneKise.com
