The Big Five test is about twice as accurate as the Meyers-Briggs test for predicting life outcomes, placing the usefulness of the MBTI test halfway between science and astrology—literally. When we use personality tests that impose categories—like the Meyers Briggs or Astrology—we risk exaggerating the differences between groups and the similarities within them. When this occurs with other types of identities like race or gender, we typically call it “stereotyping” and we try to avoid it. When consultants do it in companies, they are creating the same dynamics and doing it on dubious scientific grounds. Our latest newsletter explains why the MTBI is a bad measure, but why we are nevertheless obsessed with it! powerofusnewsletter.com/p/wh…
