#MyersBriggs#PersonalityTests is popular and that is about the only thing it has going for it. In reality it is no better than rolling die and assigning people a personality profile based on the die roll.
Carl Jung's ideas are at the base of the test. Unfortunately Jung's work has never been empirically tested. Hint when your base level construct is unsound you might have a train wreck on your hands.
@donaldegray@marick and at least the a Gray Levison model will derived from a scientifically derived construct SCARF. Myers Briggs derived from Jung. The world of psychology has moved on from him
@mlevison@donaldegray Just to be a pedant: my understanding is that a reading of Jung inspired Myers-Briggs, but the Myers-Briggs model of personality differed in really substantial ways from Jung’s. I forget the detail, but it was something like Jung not being concerned with whether a person was more extraverted but rather how, in a particular person, extraversion and introversion manifested.
