Hacking the MBTI Inventory
From Isabel Briggs Myers’s Introduction to Type, Sixth Edition: A Guide to Understanding Your Results on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (1998):
“Taking the MBTI inventory and receiving feedback will help you identify your unique gifts. . .understanding your MBTI type is self-affirming and encourages cooperation with others.”
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a psychometric test used by corporate astrologers to categorize their employees. Despite its pretext of validating all personality types in an organization, in the actual workplace you will be invalidated frequently by performance reviews, scorecards, metrics, and other corporate tools of conformity.
If you must take this intrusive anal probe called the MBTI, make sure all your answers make you an IFSJ; you will stay under the radar and outlast the rest of us, including the ISTP that brought you this advice.
