That something real is called discrimination.

Discrimination is the entire point of the hiring process. Why else are you sorting people into Myers-Briggs categories? Are you sending nobody home? What we're arguing about isn't whether you're discriminating but what tool you're using to discriminate. Is craniometry not discriminatory just because it's objective?

the relevant question is whether astrology for nerds is better than human judgement just because the former is perceived as impersonal.

How do you prove human intuition is a better qualifier?
