She also ran the BBC’s management training department for three years in the early nineteen nineties. Jenny has a keen interest in psychological assessment and her books on the MBTI – Sixteen Personality Types and Influencing Others through the Sixteen Personality Types – and on the FIRO-B (co-authored with Judy Waterman) sell well on both sides of the Atlantic.
