Do you believe in the accuracy of Meyers Briggs and other Personality Tests?

My dad was working on his masters and brought the test home. The result was ENFP. I’ve taken it at least a dozen times since then. The last time I took it, I was 50. My results have always been the same, even with different questions. I’m always an ENFP.

Yep, the only time it’s “not accurate” is when people are unhappy with themselves and want to be delusional and try to say that they’re someone else.

It's not an objective test. It can't be falsified. It's at best a general indicator reducing a spectrum to a set of binary attributes. But hey, I am a lowly engineer so I don't understand science.

Oh .. an engineer, that explains your lack of basic EQ.

If you can't attack the argument, attack the person. Typical, <insert random MBTI here>.
