Any experts on here?

Thanks.

I thought you'd have come out as a groomer after reading your posts.

In your case sure ;-)

Depends on the mood you are in when you take it, or the result you want it to come out with. Once you have done one and you get an understanding of it you can change your answers to fit your requred outcome.

Biggest money-making scam ever and completely pointless.

I was a strong ISTJ. Whatever that means.

HA

On a serious note there are a few interesting papers on this subject, worth a read.

Too close to the truth though!

They are rubbish, often work out as how people either think they see themselves rather than how they actually react and behave, or what they think the best response/answer would be.

Have a quick google. You'll find very little independent peer reviewed data on MBTI. Why? Because it's a big money making scam, and MBTI won't let independent organisations examine their test.

I remember reading an article which gave test-retest reliability at ca. 50% for MBTI

Frankly, you'd be as well cutting out and using some of those ridiculous questionnaires I hear they have in women's magazines.

Mobile Chicane - Yes

Dyslexia in full flow! can't spot em all.

Anyhow, it is very correct! even down to the type of work i do! spooky...

You should have had a 1:1 or group debrief following the report, otherwise the MBTI folk haven't done their job properly.

It's a robust psychometric too, based on Jungian psychology so there's a fair bit of research going on over the last few decades to support the underlying psychology.

But, without a good debrief as to what it is telling you, and more importantly what it is NOT telling you (or not designed to tell) then it may not be much help.

You'll be ENTP not ENPT. It means your preferences are Extrovert, Intuitive, Thinking and Perceiving. And if you don;t know what they mean, then find out who did your report and ask them.
