I always answer them giving the results they want to hear....
On jobs where they want safe and steady, those are the answers I give, on jobs they want a risk taker, etc, etc.
In other words, they mean nothing, I've never heard of anybody not getting o job because they've "failed" it, so it sort of makes the whole thing a waste of time in my book.

When we studied such things, as part of training to be a manager (having been doing the role for two years ) it was stressed again and again that they should never be used for selection, as they only indicate tendencies. So, in MBTi, someone with strongly Inituitive results can, nonetheless, still learn how to work Logically.
It's main role should be for self-understanding, and to identify, perhaps, areas for training. It helps in understanding team dynamics. But not really in constructing a team.
If it's being done at the final stages, then I'd suspect that it really isn't to do with selection.Last edited by NotAllThere; 10 March 2009, 12:42.

Normally had these done early on in the interview stage - they just say I'm a bossy cow who loves praise.
