Ordering |
| Q: What are the letters in parentheses after the assessment titles? |
| A: Many of CPP's products are restricted. For information on restrictions please see our page on Qualifications |
| |
| Q: How does CPP know whether I'm qualified? |
| A: Certain assessments published by CPP are available only to users who have appropriate training and credentials, and who adhere to the principals of proper use, including knowledge of assessments and their applications. The assessments included on our website or in the CPP catalog have been classified in terms of the professional training required for their use. To find out if you are qualified to license "B" or "C" level assessments, you may simply complete our online qualification form. |
| |
| Q: Can I order by fax? |
| A: Yes. Print out and complete the downloadable Order Form. You will need Adobe® Acrobat® Reader™. If you don't have it you can download it for free. Please note that you should not place the same order via both fax and the website. Choose either method, not both. |
| |
| Q: What is your return policy? |
| A: Returns and exchanges must be sent to CPP via traceable methods. Returns will be for credit only. To receive credit to your CPP account, materials must be unopened, in reusable condition, accompanied by a copy of the original invoice and returned within 60 days of the original invoice date. This policy also applies to administrations. Kits and Money-Saving Packages must be returned in their entirety. Test results are not returnable for credit. CPP requires that all prepaid answer sheets be scored no later than December 31 of the year following the year of the sale or license in question. |
| |
| Q: I am an International Customer. How do I place an order? |
| A: If you are an International Customer, please check with your local, CPP-authorized international product distributor for qualifying workshops and requirements. |
| |
Students |
| Q: I am a student. How do I order restricted materials for my dissertation, thesis, or class project? |
| A: If you will be ordering as a student, you do not need to meet the qualification requirements yourself but you must fill out our qualification form and have it co-signed by your advising professor, and submit it with your first order. Be sure to check the box on the qualification form that says "I am a student. My professor has signed below." A qualification form can be printed from our website, and then faxed or mailed with your initial order. |
| |
| Prepayment is required on all student orders. Ordering as a student also entitles you to a 25% discount on testing material orders over $25.00. Your student status is good for one calendar year from the date of your first purchase. If you still need to order restricted materials after one year, you will need to complete a new qualification form and have it signed by your advising professor. |
| |
Taking the Assessments |
| Q: How can I take the MBTI® assessment if I'm not qualified to order it? |

Mail-in Scoring |

| |
| Q: My prepaid answer sheet says to complete a "Request for Scoring Services form." I don't have this form. Can I still send in my answer sheet? |
| A: A Request for Scoring Services form is usually included with all CPP answer sheets. There is a Request for Scoring Services form in the back of our catalog. If you do not have the form, and cannot print it from our website, you can still send in your answer sheet for scoring. Just be sure to include a cover sheet with a client list and the name and address to which the results are to be sent. (Please note: Results must be sent back to the counselor or qualified user.) And be sure to let us know if you want any additional services such as upgrades or Federal Express services. |
| |
| Q: I bought prepaid forms. What are all these prices on the back of the Request for Scoring Services form? |
| A: If you want only the report that you prepaid for, you do not need to worry about those prices. Those are listed in case you are sending in forms that are not prepaid, or if you would like an additional report. |

Permission and Copyright |
| Q: I want to use one of CPP's copyright protected instruments. Do I need permission? |
| A: Permission is not necessary if you will be using our instruments as purchased from CPP. You need only purchase the number of assessments you will administer. However, you may not photocopy or reproduce materials you have purchased from CPP. Should you need to adapt or translate CPP materials for use in research, written permission from CPP is required. |
| |
| Q: What if I want to modify or translate one of CPP’s copyright protected instruments for my own use? |
| A: If you would like to modify, adapt, or translate an instrument, you must submit your request to CPP in writing. Please contact CPP’s Permissions Coordinator at perms@cpp.com to obtain the proper forms. Permission requests are processed on a first come first served basis and may take six to eight weeks to complete. Permissions granted by CPP carry a fee that is based on the quantity of modified, adapted, or translated copies required. In addition to a permission fee, all permission agreements are subject to a processing fee. Please contact CPP’s Permissions Coordinator at perms@cpp.com for a copy of the most current fees. |
| |
| Q: My dissertation committee is requiring me to include a copy of the instrument I am using in my dissertation. Can I do that? |
| A: You may not include a copy of any of CPP’s instruments in your thesis, dissertation, or other publication. However, you may include sample items if you first obtain permission from CPP. To do so, contact CPP’s Permissions Coordinator at perms@cpp.com to request the appropriate forms to obtain permission to include sample items in your thesis or dissertation. CPP has pre-selected sample items it provides for inclusion in theses, dissertations, and other publications. The practice of using sample items both allows you to use certain sample items while at the same time protecting CPP’s intellectual property. |

Qualifications |
| Q: How do I become qualified to use CPP's restricted materials? |
