anybody ever heard of this?
I've been scheduled to go through this for work and I think it actually might help out how I deal with my wife at times she's a creative yet emotional person who doesn't necessarily plan things, just goes off on a whim while I'm a planner who also micro-manages, trusts but verifies and has a hell of a time empathizing with people including her my coworkers who have been through the course told me that I'd be a gold/ green combo. From how they explained it to me I guess she'd be a blue |

It's essentially based on the Myers-Briggs assessment.
Which basically means that it's garbage. |

It's essentially based on the Myers-Briggs assessment. Which basically means that it's garbage. It's garbage because it's not actually a personality assessment, and has no validity or reliability as a measure. There ARE very accurate personality assessments available (based on the Big Five personality dimensions, validated by literally a century of research). But, the people who own the MBTI are very good at selling it to companies (and it is much cheaper and faster than a real personality test), so it is extremely widespread.

Ive done the True Colors one.
Green(20) Orange(18) Gold(16) Blue(6) We put our colors on our cubes so that when you went to someone elses cube you knew their colors and could change how you talked/worked with them based on their traits. Here is a very basic breakdown of the colors. Attached File |

The test-retest reliability of the MBTI tends to be low. Large numbers of people (between 39% and 76% of respondents) obtain different type classifications when retaking the indicator after only five weeks
However, most studies have found that scores on the individual scales were actually distributed in a centrally peaked manner, similar to a normal distribution, indicating that the majority of people were actually in the middle of the scale and were thus neither clearly introverted nor extraverted. if you're not into math, it means that normally, if there really is a difference, you'll see 2 groups: 1 at each end. if there is no difference, you'll see everyone randomly. this is what a normal distribution is. that's why it's all bs. they polarize people when there's no scale. reliability mean it's also bs. you can be a different person every time you take the test. science means reproducibility. and the reason the reliability is completely bs is lack of objectivity - you are evaluating you. which is arguably the worst possible way to evaluate you (dunning-kruger). most damning is that it doesn't actually predict anything. it doesn't matter what you choose, there's no correlation that your score will provide any outcome that will be relevant. your score won't predict how well or poorly you communicate with others, solve problems, or any metric. |

example:
the test says that you either love hats or hate hats. so you select how much you like hats. on a sunny day, you love hats. on a rainy day, you don't think hats have much use. here you see reliability is already suspect - it's more of a product of the environment than your actual opinion on hats. the test says that hat lovers will get along with other hat lovers. this is complete bs, as the correlation is something like 50/50. but even in your own group of friends, you don't have better or worse relationships with hat wearers than hat avoiders - correlation is just that. it's more dependent on the person than it is their affinity for hats. and lastly, it doesn't predict anything. you can't group hat lovers thinking they will communicate effectively because they all love hats. a gun enthusiast that loves boonie hats and a gamer wearing a teemo hat could have nothing or everything in common. this is why most serious companies did not adopt it. especially technical jobs - medicine, research, engineering, analysis, etc. |

I am an off-the-charts intuitive thinker with tremendous innovation and originality skills. Plus a strong sense of irreverant humor. Unfortunately, none of my former employers appreciated any of that. |

Someone who honestly answers all questions of the MBTI can possibly get a... Somewhat accurate assessment, though as you say, there is no measuring stick as to its reliability/repeatability. It's easily affected by the mood you're in, whether you're happy/depressed/pissed off, etc. For some, it's extremely accurate. For others, it isn't. Basically, it's a crapshoot. |

View Quote The results would be like: "You talk too much, usually about uninteresting things. You don't wipe very well after a bowel movement. You're not physically attractive. Your clothes are ill-fitting and out of date. Dogs can easily sense your lack of character. You are not welcome at social gatherings. You should seek employment in solitary jobs where you are appropriately segregated from normal society, like a night watchman or work-from-home telemarketing". |

I'd like to see someone come out with a useful, honest test. Not all of this "You're a great person, and here's all of your positive attributes, now go forth and be awesome" bullshit, but something that tells a person who they REALLY are.
