Short story. My company brought in a different working-type consulting group. I decided to try my own experiment and answered the 150 survey completely randomly, didn’t read the questions. Then sat through a 4 hour workshop where most of my colleagues told me it made so much sense I was a [whatever my results were, I forget]." Found out they paid like $10k for the day session, never told anybody what I did.

Middle Managers and 2nd rate psych students. But, having surveyed my undergraduate classes in the past, about 50% of them believe in astrology so it’s no wonder the Myers-Briggs speaks to them.
Isn’t it meant to be a categorical insight?
I was always under the impression it’s obviously non-scientific and simply there to explain the broad aspects of a personality to others quickly.
Maybe that’s the real personality test. Exposing how prone someone is to tribalism over self-reflection based on “I am a…” vs “My outcome was…”

I’ve had 3 dramatically different outcomes depending on the context in which I take it.
I believe it clearly says that’s a totally acceptable outcome at the start and explains why that’s expected and fine.
That it do. Albeit not loud enough.
I mean, some people like BuzzFeed quizzes, but it’s easy to tell that it’s for entertainment, knowing they’re not scientific. When it’s an documented personality test with a long history, it’s easy to assume it’s scientific. But social sciences weren’t all that scientific until the last few decades, anyway.
interestingly, anedoctaly, I’m an absolute skeptic about almost everything, including astrology, religion and the such, but this test was so on spot from me I had a real hard time being convinced it was pseudoscience

My Psych degree hangs framed above my toilet. It really brings the room together. I only put partial weight into standardized testing, IQ or personality tests, and I hope other people realize the constraints and fallabilities of these metrics. I don’t detest that they exist. I just hope people don’t horoscope 'em.

Might vary from school to school. The bigger thing is upbringing, many first gen kids don’t have that going into college so it’s more a task to teach critical thinking to them. More privileged kids get that out the gate, especially if they’re coming from private schools that encourage critical thinking and not following orders / memorization.
I teach at a place with mostly first gens, so thats how it is.
Crawl into my basement… Cause I’m hosting the BIGGEST party in the WORLD where everybody gets WASTED and READS BOOKS until they CRY themselves to SLEEP.
Damn, count me in
Two weeks before the party, I say I’m totally in and excited, and then the day of, I remember I don’t want to do that and say I’m pretty sure I’m getting sick. Then B.
Some good books can make you cry.
Oh I cry reading stuff all the time. I read a lot of historical queer fiction because I’m a masochist, and then I cry because it was so unfair.
I can feel that and I’m cishet.
I think I have actually done B a few times
You’ll NEVER GUESS what your results are!
There are literally no other possibilities!
I mean, I usually do both. Gotta find balance in your life.
Weird. So are you just holding massive parties in your basement while reading books?
You’re invited!
Isn’t everybody?
But, ok, thanks.
Anything I should bring? Napkins perhaps? Anything else might be a bit more complicated than I can handle.
Got a thesis on Dionysian ethics handy? Or napkins. Napkins are cool, too.

Seems I’m fresh out of thesises for Dionysian ethics, but I have this handful of napkins from Wendy’s.

I enjoy and do A, but need B a week later to recharge.
Both, depending on the month. I have bipolar disorder.
I can envision the same but with my luck it’d be neither because timing never works to my advantage.
Why is option A so weird and unrelatable?
Cause you are the one who crawls into the basement
He is the one who crawls
The one who crawls
Oh, I thought crying yourself to sleep while reading was normal?
do i have any money to spend? if yes, then A. if no, then B.
Little column A, little column B… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A sounds like punishment thb
Typical recruitment process questionnaire
B, but no crying
