[MD] MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR

[ian glendinning]

Hi Marsha,

I've been tested, and had people working for me tested many many
times, and oddly enough my wife is a qualified MBTI tester. (I've also
used other psychometric analyses as part of management and team
building processes.)

Mine have certainly evolved over the years in which I've taken them.
In the early years I was borderline EN / IS, but pretty firmly TJ
Latterly (from memory) more like ISTP

I think the evolution from J to P is pretty obvious.
I think the fixed T is pretty obvious.
I think the firming up of N/S to S is pretty clear too.
I think the E/I remains marginal for me.

Provided no-one takes them as prescriptive, but simply "indicators" I
think they have value. Like any psychometric testing questionnaires
there is an element of game theory, trying to guess the line of
questioning and "preferred" answers, so it helps to look at multiple
kinds of test, to get a fair balance.

All from memory.
Ian
