By Sigurd Arild, Ryan Smith, and Eva Gregersen Regular readers know the drill by now: We have no affiliation with the MBTI; we just don’t like seeing lazy and uninformed critiques misguiding the public. The latest example of such a critique is the journalist Joseph Stromberg’s article: Why the Myers-Briggs test is totally meaningless, as featured in...

By Ryan Smith and Eva Gregersen Business Insider seems to be developing a penchant for publishing poorly researched articles about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Last September it was Professor Adam Grant’s critique of the MBTI which quoted unfaithfully from one of the scientific studies that it used as the basis of its argument. Now it is reporter Drake Baer who...

By Ryan Smith, Eva Gregersen, and Sigurd Arild A number of common critiques of Jungian typology and the MBTI are often voiced in no uncertain terms by people who have comparatively little knowledge about these fields. In this article we purport to answer the most common of these critiques. CRITICISMS OF THE MBTI THAT ARE...

The ‘Color Q Personality’ is yet another “MBTI by another name”, created by Shoya Zichy. We do not think it adds much to the understanding of Jungian typology, but on the other hand, it appears that Zichy has been very prolific in searching out celebrities and getting them to take her personality test. In this...

SUMMARY OF THIS ARTICLE Adam Grant calls the MBTI “useless” but can’t cite a single study to back up his claim. Grant faults the MBTI for not being able to evaluate job performance. But the MBTI doesn’t claim to be able to do that. So Grant is ignorant of what the MBTI does and doesn’t...

As if the epistemological status of Jungian typology were not already compromised enough by the prevalence of people who type by face reading, stock characters, and handwriting analysis, a further problem that mars the field is the circulation of unfounded rumors about celebrities self-identifying as certain types or taking personality tests and coming out as...

Short answer: No. Just like face reading and stock characters, the notion that handwriting analysis can be linked to type is spreading like wildfire in type training organizations and on the internet. In this post we will explain why we think graphology is completely lacking in validity and why it should not be used in...

This personality type is characterized by a distinct set of traits, motivations, and tendencies that paint a vivid portrait of...

The Dark Core refers to a cluster of malevolent personality traits that are interconnected and collectively contribute to negative and harmful behaviors. This concept extends beyond the Dark Triad traits and encompasses a broader range of malevolent tendencies. The nine facets within the Dark Core include: Machiavellianism: As previously mentioned, Machiavellianism involves manipulation, strategic thinking,...

The Dark Triad is a term used in psychology to describe three distinct personality traits that are characterized by a focus on self-interest, manipulative behavior, and a lack of empathy. These traits are often associated with negative and socially harmful behavior. The Dark Triad consists of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Let’s delve into each trait...

When a person’s history is full of decisions and actions that are harmful to them, it can be difficult to understand. Freud saw self-destructive behavior as the most difficult problem to solve with his theory because it goes against the idea that organisms try to minimize pain and maximize pleasure. Masochism is a term used...

Histrionic personality disorder is a mental condition that is characterized by dramatic and attention-seeking behavior. This disorder is often confused with histrionic character, which is a less severe form of the disorder. With histrionic personalities, individuals tend to be high-anxiety, high-intensity, and highly reactive – especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships. These people may...
