Is manipulation of other evil/bad/wrong/unethical?
Where do you draw the line between using personality type information to build better teams/relationships and actually manipulating others?
Is it wrong to influence someone's behavior with MBTI knowledge if it does them no harm but accomplishes your objective?
Is it wrong to try and help them become more well rounded as a person/workplace contibutor using your MBTI knowledge, even if they are unaware of what you are doing-ie you actuually give them some benefit?
Folks have always used the way they function-lets just say the function like Fi (for me for instance)-to influence others on some level-likely not realizing exactly what they were doing. Once we become aware of what we are doing is it now unethical to continue doing so, as we recognize we have an advantage over the other person?
I dont know the answers to most of this and I am troubled much by this area... All thoughts are good. Please contribute.
