Well...
One half of me agrees with you 200%.
But I work in a dysfunctional team, partly due to some radically different personalities having similar roles and doing things in extremely different ways. We recently used it as a classic exercise to help people understand the way other peoples' brains tick, and it was an eye opener for people who'd not done it before. Even cynical old me was particularly struck by how well most of he types and their descriptions corresponded to my perceptions of the individuals.
Is it hard, proveable science? No: but then a lot of science isn't as hard and proveable as people would like to pretend, and certainly doesn't conform to the idyllic vision of scientific method.

Personality Test
As part of an assignment for one of my classes, I had to take the following Myers-Briggs personality test. I was blown away by how accurate my assessment was! Turns out I'm an INFJ. Check it out and see if it's accurate for you. http://www.humanmetrics.co...
ISTP
slightly expressed introvert ... like ... Charles Bronson, Amelia Earhart, John Glenn, Clint Eastwood .. wow!!!! correct !! I'm like Johne Glenn the astronaut, Charles Bronson the revenge-guy, Amelia the "spy" and Clint Eastwood the tough guy ... Filip
I'm a ESJT!
Very interesting test, I'm a 'ESJT'. Dang, I was hoping that I was a 'NRA'. What kinda class are you taking Ping? -MW
You should have gone into Special Ops for the CIA...
...seriously, lol. I'm taking Theories of Language Acquisition. Apparently knowing your own personality helps in being an effective language teacher. This message has been edited by pingtsai on 2010-05-24 13:32:57

Ping, surely knowing your own personality helps you to be effective in any occupation especially if you choose a job that suits your personality. just a thought Graham
INTP . . .
. . . and yes, I'm flabbergasted by the accuracy of this personality test . . .
ENFJ on this one, but
...I need to check. I took a comprehensive Myers Briggs test as part of some leadership training I did a few years ago,and I think my results were slightly different. It's interesting stuff, particularly when you test along with a group of colleagues. It ...
INTJ, with this ...
moderately expressed introvert moderately expressed intuitive personality moderately expressed thinking personality slightly expressed judging personality What does this mean?!?!?!
Jungian Rubbish! :-)
Any psychometric 'test' that you can skew all over the place just for fun (even on the full 93 question T1, not that I've ever done this ) is best regarded as an amusing distraction, with alarmingly little scientific basis. Not even going to mention confi...

Well (take 2)...
100% agrees with you 50%. When used as per your example, BM can be a valuable tool. And I can see (and have observed) its utility in similar exercises to yours. Same goes for Big-5 and Lominger (I actually find this one the most useful(ish))... I've actua...
Rubbish, eh?
Looks like you must be an xSTJ If that's the case, you will probably me more convinced by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Jung knew that in human nature there are some truths that are not elucidated by objective statistical tests, no matt...
What am I?
Ping, I don't know if it's good or bad but based on the fact that you are also in my group - INFJ - I feel safe. Helen
I've been tested using Myers-Briggs many times since...
...high school, and I have always come out an ENFP until this test which is showing me as an ENFJ. The most interesting personality tests have always shown me to be a very dominant personality. Cheers, Daos

INTJ for me
I'm classified as INTJ and it closely matches some of my traits. Thanks Ping, this was very interesting to know about each others personality. Regards, ED-209
D'ohhhhhh ....
I failed the test. Can someone please give a hint as to the correct answers before I try it again???? Richard.
ISFJ for me which seems about right.
i do find these tests a bit odd as they ask the same question in 3 different ways. it seems i'm a sociophobic introvert who craves to be recognised and successful despite having achieved nothing. that probably comes from having been in a job where the onl...
I have a rare blood type too ...
Hi Ping, Looks like we are both INFJ's. This Jungian type makes up about 1% of the population, and is even less common amongst males. Like others, I have done these psychometric tests before and have found the insight into different personalities and the ...
Add another INFJ to the tally
I've taken the M-B test several times over the past 20 years and noticed that while the INFJ hasn't changed, the strength of preference % has changed over the years. I think its due to the maturation process that comes with time and experience. For exampl...
MBTI or NOT?
MBTI is supposed to by an innate response test not a competency test thus it shd not change unless something dramatic/traumatic occurs to you. There are other psychometric tests like Gallup strengths Finders or Harrison assessment that does similar things...
