LOL, can't you at least stand by your claims?
When
I make them, I stand by or correct them. I don't stand by what you inject into the conversation.
you were the one who asked "isn't that what you do" in reference to telling companies what to do, showing your confusion between being paid to do so and being told to do so,
I never "told" anyone to do anything - you injected that into the conversation. I was perfectly clear that I considered
you or the
company using a
test in a discriminatory manner to be unethical. It never had anything to do with being 'forced'.
What you said:
But not as unethical as telling privately-owned companies what types of skills they have to hire for.
And you had just run an example where you said they should replace an entire department/team with a different skillset. I was confused why you would call something you did as less ethical. I continue to have no idea why this was relevant at all - none of the conversation was ever about "forcing" a company. The best interpretation is that by
not codifying your prejudices and 'forcing the company', it is making what you do ethical. If that is what you mean, I hold nothing by contempt for your business practices - it is a little different than 'nudge wink' glass ceilings.
Regardless, while I think it is... dubious... to discriminate the way you do, I don't find it severe as there is no tangible breach of an ethical standard - you'd have to use the test, or be a registered practitioner to have done that.
but now you won't stand by what you said and have resorted to fishing around for studies from 1981
And you fish around for justification for your prejudices and desperately look at ways to preserve your world view.
here's one that's a bit more recent, 76% of Accounting Majors in this study showed up as "S", also found strong STJ preference among Accounting professors
Not surprisingly, that's pretty close to the
overall population of Ss. The problem is in your interpretation - you take these things and act as if it justifies your practices. It doesn't. Not only does MBTI expressly state that using it as a measure of
ability is not appropriate, and not only is it a poor instrument for doing anything of the sort due to sub factor differences, but the studies themselves are telling you just how unimportant this trait is relative to others.
