About us
The principals and facilitators in TypeQuest are Barbara Sigerson and Don MacLachlan.
Both are qualified MBTI facilitators, who earned their credentials in 1996 through Canada's leading MBTI trainer, Psychometrics Canada.
For those who already know something about psychological type, Don is an INTJ and Barbara an ENFP. Which leads them to start their workshops with this greeting:
"We are the Odd Couple. We have very different personalities. We are of quite different psychological types. Reflecting those differing psychological types, we react in different ways to the same things, to the same information and to the same people. We each have our own distinct preferences and tendencies. We each have our own strengths and not-so-strengths. In some areas we complement each other; in other areas, we tend to clash. Through better understanding of each other's psychological type, we find we can work together better as a couple and as a team. We find we understand better where other people are coming from — our bosses and our workmates and our customers and our family members and friends. It makes it easier for us to deal with other people. We hope the MBTI will start you on the road to better understanding of your own psychological type and that of others. And show you how you can use that knowledge to your benefit and theirs."
While they do MBTI workshops and discussion groups together, Barbara also specializes in relationships for individuals, couples and families, and often uses the MBTI for confidential counselling. Don has a special interest in the application of the MBTI in the workplace, and is also a qualified facilitator for the workplace and management programs of Human Synergistics International.

Don is a member of the Association for Psychological Type. He is also president of Clarity Communications Inc., a consultancy in public and media relations.
