I just received the following email from my university, and before responding, I thought I'd get some other opinions. Here's the email:
Based upon Carl Jung’s research on psychological types, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs, and has become the most widely trusted personality inventory in the United States and throughout the world. Participants will complete the MBTI inventory, learn about personality types, and receive their individual personality profiles during this series. In Session #1, participants will complete the MBTI inventory, with program and results covered in Session #2. My understanding is that the MBTI is held in low regard by personality psychologists, and has shown little validity. Any thoughts? --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
