What do you have in mind when you think about your type of personality? The Myers­Briggs Test offers 94 questions designed to divide people into different groups according to 16 personality types. Career advisors often use these results to show people the jobs that are likely to fit their personality and be pleasing in the long run.

Part of what’s made the test so popular with the general public is that it’s impossible to fail. While other tests are designed to find out what mental (精神的) illness someone has, the Myers­Briggs Test supposes that all 16 types represent shades of normal. Everyone who takes the test will belong to one of these types, and all of the types have a place in society.

Of course, this quality of the test is also one of the reasons why many experts question its usefulness, placing it only a step or two above astrology (占星术). They think the results are not exactly true, and that the 16 types cannot fit all people. As psychologist (心理学家) David J. Pittenger wrote in 1993，“The descriptions of each type are generally making you feel important or special so that most people will accept the statements as true of themselves.”

Another reason why experts question the scientific quality of Myers­Briggs is that the answers are totally self­reported. Analysts can spend hours explaining the results, but in the end, the test depends on whether test­takers can honestly answer questions about their own behaviors and preferences.

On the whole, many psychologists feel that the Myers­Briggs Test can show how people see themselves, but not much more. That information can be useful if you’re a career advisor trying to help someone find the right job. But is it worth the millions of dollars people spend each year to run such a test? It’s hard to say. We live in a culture where people seem willing to spend endless amounts of time and money to find themselves, and in that respect, it doesn’t look like Myers­Briggs will be disappearing anytime soon.
