Weirdly accurate personality test

There is no science behind Myers-Briggs. It is no more accurate than a Tarot Card reading, and it feels accurate for the same reason that Tarot Cards do (i.e. confirmation bias).

I have no problem with people enjoying this test, but I wouldn't want anyone to think that there is valid rational science behind these readings. This is just another form of astrology.

I know there is a lot of people who dispute it, but there are psychological principles, not 'no' science, so not the same as astrology.

FWIW, I'm ENFP, as well.

Having been tested by former employer and when using the more involved in-depth version, I got to understand it a lot better. I know my employer used it to augment their decision on selecting committee or team members and seeing their comfort zones or working styles. They claimed it successfully aided pairing up members with the their best-suited-for tasks.

I answered as honestly as I could, and when I saw the results, I didn't recognise myself at all. Not "weirdly accurate" at all.

It is the same as astrology. Astrology has astronomical principles the same way that Myers-Briggs has psychological principles.

Science is based on things that have been proven by objective experiments. Neither astrology nor Myers-Briggs have passed this important hurdle. Myers-Briggs has undergone scientific tests, and the objective, scientific tests have failed.

I took the test. I agree with some of the characteristics pointed out and disagree with others. On the whole, I think the answers are too general. However, I do have fun taking tests like this.

I took the test . It was fun taking the test. The results seem to be sort of accurate. The trick is to answer the questions as truthful and accurate as you possibly can.
