Reported type refers to a personality type based on an individual's responses to the MBTI assessment. Verified type is determined after a person undergoes a verification process. This process involves a facilitated discussion with a certified MBTI practitioner or an online interactive feedback session. During this session, individuals review the characteristics of their reported type and may explore other type descriptions to confirm whether the reported type accurately fits their self-understanding or if another type is a better match. Most people select their reported type as their verified type.
