Myers briggs reliability and validity5/16/2023 You’ve likely taken the test before, and you know whether you’re an INTJ, an ESFP, and so on. According to the test, there are 16 different personality types across four dichotomies - Extraversion (E) or In troversion (I), Se nsing (S) or Intuition ( N), Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), and Judging (J) or Perceiving (P ). The personality test MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) is a well-known name. But the examples that come to mind when we hear the term “personality test” - like Myers Briggs and DiSC - don't exactly have legs to stand on. So.are personality tests valid? The answer is yes, there are personality test types that can inform valid and predictive talent and HR decisions. But what this New York Times article fails to do is expand into the decades of research on personality tests for work, and the thousands of companies using tests that are based on data and science (like the Big 5 personality test, but more on that to come) to make valid and predictive talent decisions. If these were the only personality test types, then we would have to agree - they do not hold any predictive validity. Unfortunately, this article limits the personality test definition to pop psychology personality tests, like Myers Briggs, DiSC, and Color Code.
