Labeling and organizing things (including people and their traits) is not bad.

  I never said it was bad, only it isn't accurate to use a ~100 question test to do so. Furthermore, some organizations will tend to only want individuals with a certain "type" in management, which leads to group-think and suboptimal decisions.

    I’m not sure if 100 question isn’t accurate enough although the biggest problem with these is if they are written to be to generic like a horoscope where someone can find something they relate to regardless of the result and that the result could essentially match nearly anyone. The 2nd part of your post isn’t exactly an argument against its validity but against how the results are applied in a specific environment this is like arguing against the validity of genotyping because insurance companies might increase your premium.

      Let me rephrase. It is mostly hokum with precious little legitimacy and to make matters worse, it is used for important things like deciding the fate of someone's career.
