His MSc thesis: Quantifying Jung: the origin and development of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, has become a seminal work and his writings on type theory and application have also broken new ground.

He taught the Personality Theory component of a Graduate Diploma in Jungian Studies at the University of South Australia and has been a visiting scholar at universities in Korea and Switzerland, the latter as a means of developing his own Jungian questionnaire.
