As a 2020 Pathfinder, you have access to a series of interactive online Personality Type Modules. Please see below for instructions to access the TypeCoach Verifier:

  • Create and save your password.
  • Enter the access code V233V2.

The assessment will take roughly 25 minutes to complete. If you need to come back to the site, just click on Login (top right) to pick up where you left off. You will use your results as part of a session at the first meeting, so be sure to complete this exercise by Wednesday, April 29, 2020.

Please download your five-page report at the end of the Verifier and bring it to the virtual meeting.
