Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Myers-Briggs
I have been subjected to this rubbish repeatedly for
the last 20 years or so, including being forced
to do my senior project in college on non-sense related
to this test and the results.
My personal opinion: it's a bunch of crapola. One of the major precepts of this test is that, if admististered correctly, the results will not change over time (you are what you are). I wholeheartedly disagree.
I find the 16 possible permutations to be shallow and insufficent.
I could go on and on, but I really don't think it even worth the effort.
this probably need to be moved to the off-topic list.

The director got this bright idea to have everyone, both fed and contract, take the Myers-Briggs. I got through about the first 10 questions before I gave up in disgust and frustration. I was able to answer about 1 or 2 of the questions. On the rest, my answer was "two or more of the selections depending on the situation". Naturally, the situational background was never given. I decided I was too flexible to be pigeonholed. My boss was sympathetic. He pointed out that there is a Myers-Briggs pigeonhole for people who don't like the Myers-Briggs test. I'm still trying to figure out if he was pulling my leg 8-) Kevin Kennedy First Point Energy Corporation -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 8:18 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L do a search for Meyers-Briggs and there are sites A lot of companies use this as a way of finding out what "type" a person is so you can learn how to deal with the people you work with.
