What Does the Singer-Loomis Offer?

Client’s Experience

• Opportunity to indicate “how much” she or he engages specific psychological actions in ordinary cultural situations.
• Asked to consider psychological actions in familiar contexts, rather than “ abstract, context free” circumstances like “choose red or green.”
• Being treated as an individual by the Singer-Loomis Report with highly specific results, rather than simply a member of a personality type—where all members of the Type are described as if they were the same.

The Core Assumptions of the Singer-Loomis

• Personality is a product of Nature (biology) and Nurture (experiences with environment)—rather than one or the other.
• Psychological change (individuation) is normal and on-going throughout life.
• Measurement, quantitative information about magnitude expression of a concept, is preferable to categorical assignment, forced choice between pairs of global concepts.
• Consistency of data collection is important—all items of an inventory should be similar in form and be keyed to a specific situation.
• Assumptions need to be minimized and made as transparent as possible.

Design of the Inventory

• New focus of measurement—the extraverted and introverted expression of each of Carl Jung’s Four Functions = eight Type Modes
• Independent Variables—each Type Mode treated as if independent of the other seven Type Modes.
• Measurement based on five-point scale, rather than forced choice.
• Highly consistent measurement with all eight core variables measured in the same twenty different situations.
• Scoring process greatly simplified by elimination of complex formula required by traditional bi-polar model.
• All information acquired from client’s responses is incorporated, nothing is discarded or ignored.
