This is not a new finding. MBTI has never really been a serious psychological tool. In fact, a lot of the personality assessments used in business are really just woo - MBTI isn't even the worst. It at least is internally consistent.
For a real personality exam with actual use in psych research, check out the Five Factor metric.
- Xcelerate 10y agoFive Factor is not much better than MBTI. See http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/pdf/10.1176/ajp.161.10.1743 http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/pdf/10.1176/ajp.161.10.1... for better (and more recent) research on the subject.
- AstralStorm 10y agoDead salmon study is nowhere near comparable to a psych survey with a lot of data behind it like Big Five.
