Facts to back up my conclusion, mostly from wikipidea which as we all know, is the truth.
^ Instrument? What?
^ I was believing this whole charade / guessing-game, until I saw the words 'develop' followed by a female name. And to top it off, some included offspring of the same gender. Doesn't make any sense.
^ That part doesn't even need any explanation.
^ More contradictions. One must not understand the world is round to know the world is round.
^ Another quote that describes this "system" very well.
^ I have to agree with those 2 statements at the time they were made.
^ Forced-choice? Who else does that shit. Scientologists, really bad shrinks like Briggs, Elton John and maybe even war-criminals.
^ Moderately successful, indeed.
^ I don't think the same applies for DISC. At least DISC doesn't try to be something else than what it is.

"From a theoretical perspective, noted psychologist H.J. Eysenck calls the MBTI a moderately successful quantification of Jung's original principles as outlined in Psychological Types.[24] However, both models remain theory, with no controlled scientific studies supporting either Jung's original concept of type or the Myers-Briggs variation."

^ I have to agree with those 2 statements at the time they were made.
"The current North American English version of the MBTI Step I includes 93 forced-choice questions (there are 88 in the European English version)"

"The results of the assessment should not be used to "label, evaluate, or limit the respondent in any way.""
^ Moderately successful, indeed.
"Some researchers have interpreted the reliability of the test as being low."
