Replying to LO8447 --

The MBTI is taking a pretty good shot here re: validity and reliability.

If anyone would like more information on this area, contact the following:

Center for the Application of Psychological Type

The instrument is used over 3 million times per year; making it the most
used type of instrument in the world. If this many people are using it,
you might think there is some value in it.

With increased use comes misuse for sure. If used for what it is intended
it can help in many ways.
