People who vehemently hate it are more spergy than the people who like it. I mean, who the gently caress gets upset about people's journeys of self discovery?

The MBTI is the worst bit of horseshit to ever brand itself as "psychology." It was actually developed by a mother with no background in the field to basically assess whether or not her daughter was marrying a serial killer. If I remember correctly, the mother had a background in political science and her daughter had a BA in psych. There's absolutely no validity to it; there's absolutely no reliability to it. If the personality profile doesn't seem to fit the examinee, the manual gives directions for the the examiner to work with the examinee by going through all the possible profiles until they find one that seems to fit. That's how valid the results are: If you don't like your personality profile, choose one you do.

The test is the worst, and I go into a sputtering rage anytime anyone ever asks me about it in real life. Unfortunately, companies do actually use these to assess potential hires, and it blows my mind. You want a personality measure that works, then take an MMPI, but leave Jung in the cold, cold grave where he belongs. Especially if you're just going to half-rear end applying his theory.

I'd argue with this, but the burst blood-vessel in my eye says otherwise.


Were you throwing up a lot?
