Vicky Jo has cultivated a rich knowledge of personality type theory, particularly the value of drawing upon multiple frameworks. She has helped edit a number of my books, and I have found her insights and suggestions invaluable.

In terms of Vicky Jo’s current seminar, I am glad that she has broken it up into several segments starting with “Can You Spot It?” There is so much info being quickly disseminated that I can imagine that it is hard for those without any background to keep up. The great thing is that unlike the other seminars I have taken she has many, many other resources including videos and pdf files to study. She is also available to answer my question via e-mail and is quite responsive (less than a day). The bottom line is that next time I might extend the course by a week and charge maybe $100-150 more!

In 25 years of attending professional development workshops, I’ve never experienced anyone who brought more energy and enthusiasm to a course! Vicky Jo is totally committed to making the experience an engaging and useful one.

I’d taken personality tests before, and thought I “got it” — but now I know they only scratched the surface of the insights that are available to all of us through this work. Looking deeply into my type, with Vicky Jo’s support and guidance, was both validating and eye-opening. I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about investing in self-discovery partner with a professional, and Vicky Jo is at the top of the personality assessment field, combining a warm coaching style with years of dedicated research and expertise.

I have to say Vicky Jo is an amazing woman who’s very experienced in her field. She really helped me understand the cognitive functions better, and even helped me confirm my type. I wish I had the money to pay for more sessions because we only touched the tip the iceberg. But if you have the money definitely pay for sessions because she’ll help you open the door of who you really are. She is funny and warm I could tell that on the phone. Any concerns you might have with talking with her, she’ll smooth them away. I wish she worked at my college campus because I would be at her office everyday.

Vicky Jo was an excellent facilitator during our MBTI® conference call session. Her ability to take us from the general to the specifics of the MBTI was highly effective and gave me the background information that I craved. Her questions and insight were enablers in my self discovery, and she was highly professional throughout our discussions. Vicky Jo’s energetic approach also helps put the conference call participants at ease and it was an enjoyable discovery process. The entire session was a positive experience for me and the MBTI feedback session exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Vicky Jo.

My best friend told me to buy this because I don’t like reading lots of books. I feel like I just had the best crash course in type ever, and I didn’t have to crack a book once. Yay for extraverts!

Type has always been a tool for me, and I liked the Enneagram and DISC better. But this program has shown me how useful type is, and I plan to do more with it in future since viewing this program.

I thought I gleaned everything there was to know about type from Vicky Jo’s wonderful websites, but I discovered so much more when I viewed this program. What a wonderful resource. Thank you!

Vicky Jo, I’ve been watching your work for years, and this virtual workshop is the perfect next step for you to share our vast knowledge of type. You re a brilliant teacher, and I’m gratified to know you.

What a cool way to understand and use type better. Way cool!

Brenda L.

This program showed me that I was mis-typed, and now I feel like I have discovered myself. I’m re-thinking everything I thought I knew about type.

-P.H.

I always thought the MBTI was type. Thank you for showing me how they are related, but not the same.

I can’t believe the value of this program! I didn’t learn this much about type in my qualifying program, and it cost me more than 10x as much money!

J. Birks, MA

Please let me know when the next workshop is available! I’m hungry to learn more.

-Corinne L.

Where was Vicky Jo 10 years ago when I encountered type? She would have saved me a lot of grief. I always knew VJ had a gift for explaining type coherently and lucidly. I said years ago she should write something, and I’m glad she did. This is even better than I imagined.

I had lost a lot of my enthusiasm for type, but this program has re-ignited my fire! I can’t wait to use these ideas in my coaching practice!

June H. CPCC, PCC

As the head of HR for a Fortune 500 company, this program gave me more insights into diversity than I ever could have predicted. I plan to make it required viewing for all of our HR department employees.

I was so delighted with myself when I got a perfect score on every quiz. It made me feel really good about myself, and my increasing level of psychological literacy.

-Pete K.

Vicky Jo, has anyone ever told you that you have a gift

-Benny

I learned more from this course about type than anything else in the past 5 years that I’ve been studying type. Vicky Jo’s warmth an enthusiasm for the topic kept me engaged throughout the program. She’s lovely to listen to.

Marilyn W., MBTI Certified Professional

This program eased me gently into understanding the 8 cognitive processes, and provided me with proof they exist! Now I see the limitations of the MBTI dichotomies in ways I’d never realized before.

John Beebe reviews “Can You Spot It?”

This virtual workshop is, like an Easter Egg hunt for adults looking for a renewal of their understanding of psychological type, a literal pleasure. These days, everyone knows there are extraverts and introverts and Jung’s “functions of consciousness”—feeling, sensation, thinking and intuition—have become household names. But who can really spot these counters of human cognition where they are hiding, right in the midst of our everyday activities, and is able to savor their flavor, their texture, and their color? Only those few who have taken the trouble to learn type recognition, like Vicky Jo Varner. In this fine effort at interactive video teaching, she opens up these nuclei of type to the uninitiated. Although we know she is sharing a mystery of personality that she holds an almost religious respect for, it doesn’t feel like Sunday School to be learning about it from her: it feels like holiday fun. This happy contribution to the development of type savvy is a gift to all of us. –John Beebe, Ph.D.
