MRA Team Spirit uses profiling instruments from Management
Research Associates (MRA). MRA has been building a tradition in management
development since 1954.
In the 1940's, there was a concerted effort to bring psychometrics
to bear in the workplace. There was also a focus on accommodating the natural
differences among healthy people, rather than building a theory based on
psychopathology, as Freud and Jung had done. In 1926 Psychologist William Marston
had published his revolutionary book, The Emotions of Normal People, which was
then used by Walter E. Clark and others, to develop a more accurate - but less
complex - personality typology. This typology was based on four key traits
which could be isolated and measured, yielding a high correlation with
specific workplace behaviors.
MRA Founder Charles Menzies had been working with Clark after the Korean
War, and set out on his own to refine and further develop the four-trait
system -- paying particular attention to making it a more powerful
management tool, in addition to an accurate employee selection method.
The popularity of MRA's internally developed proprietary profiling
instruments grew, in part, due to their accuracy (92.2%), ease of use, and
growing client needs. Charlie Menzies retired in 1985 after having
implemented MRA in a broad array of industries across the United States.
Today, under the leadership of Laurence Sartor, Ph.D., Charlie Menzies'
excitement, dedication and tradition continues in an expanded of profiling
tools used by many companies.

"Futurists indicate that you will change careers 3 to 4 times in your lifetime ..."
It's the cool thing to say and it underscores the importance of employees and
employers knowing how to use MRA Profiles to match people and jobs. But long
before it was cool to change careers, William Marston showed the way.
"Every crisis offers you extra desired power " - William Marston
In the 1920's, as a psychologist, Marston wrote the revolutionary Emotions of Normal
People which laid the theoretical groundwork for MRA profiling. He had earlier invented
the modern method of mesasuring systolic blood pressure and pioneered its use in
developing the lie deteector.
