Using MindSonar without Certification
If you want to use MindSonar, but you do not want to take the Certification training, you can use it under the supervision of someone who is certified.

Why Certification?
People have asked us why we don’t put MindSonar on line for the general public, like many other tests are these days. We have several reasons not to do that. First of all, interpreting MindSonar, although it has quite an extensive (30+ pages) written report, works best with a trained professional helping. This increases the quality of the interpretation. Also, interpretation is useful only to the extent that you can actually do something with it. A trained professional can help people translate their insights into action, through advice, coaching and training. The same goes for organizations. Understanding how people think is only valuable in so far as people in the organization can use that understanding to change their behaviour. So we see MindSonar as only one part of the formula. The other part- usually the biggest part by far – is the professional using it. In combination they form a great product. We believe that in the long run, we will be able to maintain a much higher quality product by linking MindSonar to trained professionals through the Certification training.
