I tend to think that if you work hard you'll reach your goal. If you stay focused on what you want you will succeed. Don't let anyone deter you from your direction.

It always astounds me how many people take personality tests so seriously.
Myers-Briggs is garbage. It's a $20 million dollar scam based on pseudo science. And I can't believe some companies actually use this beep in the work place.
Ughhh. I wish the earth would hurry up and kill us already. I know we'll all be dead in 50 years anyway thanks to global warming but dammit that's not soon enough. -

No, not a pseudoscience, but perhaps the most difficult science there is, the study of how human beings think. This particular one (MBTI) usually rates a little lower for reliability than you'd like, meaning you can take it again and get a different result sometimes, but that's because it's very difficult to write questions to differentiate between the categories sometimes and some people have difficulty separating what they
are
from what they want to be or what they think they ought to be.
I do know that when I went back to school in 2008 and took psych at one of the biggest and highest rated state schools in the US with a renowned psych department they had us take a very similar type of test but with
hundreds
of questions, which makes it easier to make those sorts of determinations. It's not a perfect metric still and they're still working on it, but Carl Jung was a genius and was definitely on to something here in my view. I scoffed at these things for years until I actually learned something about the subject for myself.

Agreed. Have you taken the DiSC or Gallup Strengthfinders 2.0 tests? I've had employers test me using those as well as MBTI. Interesting stuff.
Fascinating.
I don't know for certain if I've taken either of those tests, I studied them mostly. It's easy to remember things about the MBTI specifically due to its ubiquitous nature online thus I was already aware of it and curious about it.
