Obligatory references on the subject of the unvalidated Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®:

http://www.skepdic.com/myersb.html

http://www.psychometric-success.com/personality-tests/person...

"Overall, the review committee concluded that the MBTI has not demonstrated adequate validity although its popularity and use has been steadily increasing. The National Academy of Sciences review committee concluded that: ‘at this time, there is not sufficient, well-designed research to justify the use of the MBTI in career counseling programs’, the very thing that it is most often used for."

Also a lawsuit waiting to happen if the Myers-Briggs is used for hiring or promotion:

I have refused to take the MB "test" during the interview process because the test has no demonstrated scientific validity and no demonstrated predictive value, which makes it discriminatory and possible an ADA violation.
