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.

Fascinating
Isn't it? I had one employer who brought in external consultants to train employees to communicate with different personality types based on DiSC.
On DiSC I scored high dominance (D) and influence (I), with compliance (C) next in line and sensitivity (S) nearly not registering
Which makes sense, but they'd reference other employees as being "C types," for example, so I always felt like a dick for being a "D," and indeed I am a dick. Very accurate model, fascinating stuff indeed.
Strengthfinders is kinda cool in that it IDs your top 5 strongest "traits" after taking ~100-200Q test w/ 10 seconds to complete each question. The premise is you ID your top 5 strengths and align your efforts toward maximizing those rather than focusing on areas you're naturally not talented in. I think I had 1) competitiveness, 2) strategic, 3) analytical, 4) "activator", and 5) "learner." So good, folks. And in a sense these traits per the model's definitions are very similar to traits exhibited by a textbook "ENTJ" in most MBTI models (which is what I always get, even on the online tests).
MBTI is definitely the most widely recognized of the 3, despite being the oldest. I interviewed w/ a hedge fund/cult (
Bridgewater
) in Connecticut were MBTI is used as part of the interview process, and they were very aroused by my results.

Thank you for the information, I think we had this conversation before or you posted it in response to a different poster, as you're usually the one who posts this sort of thread as I recall. I can definitely see the value in those approaches and why you score as you do. Although I am mainly here to discuss the show you do keep me intrigued as to your purpose here and endgame sometimes!
