Accessibility statement

Accessibility policy

At The Myers-Briggs Company, we believe access to our websites and digital offerings should be available to everyone. As a Certified B Corporation® we aim to make a positive impact in everything we do, and to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

We are dedicated to maintaining an accessible online experience for you, and we employ usability specialists and tools to identify areas that need improvement. We strive to support the WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is recognized as the international standard for web accessibility. While we regularly test our sites to identify and address areas of improvement and work towards a fully accessible experience, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the accessibility standards.

We have designed this platform using the Surf Right Guidelines outlined on the RNIB website (http://www.rnib.org.uk/about-rnib/web-accessibility-statement), with particular emphasis on the following aspects:

  • Tests for resizing text
  • Tests for colour contrast
  • Ease-of-use tests

We would refer you to AbilityNet for advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Using a keyboard on OPPassessment

We have endeavoured to make OPPassessment accessible using only a keyboard. If you discover an area which is difficult to navigate using a keyboard, please let us know. You can navigate around OPPassessment using the standard keyboard functions available on most browsers:

  • Use the Tab key to move between links and form fields
  • Press the Return key to follow links or submit a form when they are selected
  • Press the Space bar to fill in a checkbox
  • Use the "arrow" or "cursor" keys to move through drop-down menus and radio buttons

Use of OPPassessment by people with disabilities

OPPassessment has been designed to follow best practice in the testing of people with disabilities:

  • Microsoft and other standard packages are used to distribute questionnaires to respondents and as the testing application. Therefore, standard Microsoft and other accessibility features should integrate without any problems.
  • The web sites use clear, large, sans-serif fonts against a light background
  • There are no aural cues
  • Scroll bars and other features requiring fine motor skills have been kept to a minimum

However, those with severe visual disabilities will find any on-screen system difficult or impossible to use. In these circumstances, consult the respondent, who has more experience than you of working with their disability. You may wish to consider paper-based administration or asking a helper to read out questions.

We expect the OPPassessment respondent site to work with screen readers such as JAWS. We have customers that have done this in the past. If you encounter any specific problems, please contact Customer Support.

Contacting us about accessibility issues

If you encounter any accessibility issues whilst using OPPassessment, please contact our Customer Support team, who will be able to help you further. We welcome feedback, which is used to determine future changes to implement on the system.
