The Psychologists in my family only refer to Myers-Briggs in an anecdote from grad school: it was used as the ideal example of how to design a terrible test.

They say that, if you’re going to do a personality test, long-form MMPI is the best of them, but personality tests are just academic exercises that don’t tell the therapist as much as they could learn by just talking to the patient.

We had to do Insights Discovery training at one of my old jobs, which simplifies this to four ‘colour energies’ to make it easier to remember.

My manager after this starting reducing everyone’s behaviours down to their assigned colours; my coworker wasn’t a condescending prick, he was just ‘being very red, which was good for the group colour balance’.

The trainer also stated that outsourced public project cost overrruns are due to ‘too many yellow energy managers’.

I can (and will) reject any philosophical tradition that gave rise to Jordan Peterson off the cuff

I don’t like Jung either, but this isn’t really his fault

idk i kind of liked Answer to Job and the Red Book (seriously it has some baller art even if the text is basically mystical german nonsense)

but seriously like every single psychology 101 class will tell you that freud and jung’s psychology are outdated and unscientific, idk why people still take this stuff seriously.
