The main value of any "personality type" inventory is to help people with different personalities interact in mutually agreeable and beneficial ways. The very fact that people cling to their MBTI type designators indicates that the see some value in that, even if the value they see is not there. With that in mind, I have a simple question: ** If not MBTI, then what else instead? ** Rose Eveleth doesn't seem to have an answer. What she has is just sneering condescension for the only such inventory that has gained any popular traction (which is necessary for it to be effective). The comparison to astrology is particularly unhelpful. Does anyone else know of something that could succeed where MBTI has supposedly failed?
