The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator is a [[Personality test]] inspired by the ideas of [[Carl Jung]] on _types_. Similar to [[Adaptive Employee Personality Test]] from [[Aon]]. [[Jordan Peterson]] even got one called [Understand Myself](https://www.understandmyself.com/) based on the [[Big Five personality traits]]. > Some professionals recognised talk of colours from the infamous Myers-Briggs test, administered by less-respectable management consultants. It built on the mystical ideas of the Swiss psychoanalyst [[Carl Jung]], active at the start of the 20th century, whose theories are now mostly of historical interest. The theory of Myers-Briggs was not something modern psychologists took seriously. Since the test had been developed quite some time ago it had been the subject of extensive research and the results had revealed serious flaws. I watched a movie called [[Persona (movie)]] on [[HBO Max]]. ![[jung_typen.png]] # See also - [The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing](https://www.amazon.com/Personality-Brokers-Strange-History-Myers-Briggs/dp/0385541902) - [Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests (2021) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14173880/) - [In defense of Myers-Briggs](https://dynomight.net/in-defense-of-myers-briggs.html) - [Psychological Types - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_Types) - [Swedes were fooled by one of the biggest scientific bluffs of our time (2020) | Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29724414) - [True Colors (personality) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Colors_(personality)) - [Keirsey Temperament Sorter - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keirsey_Temperament_Sorter)
