Whoever knows more personality type systems please share (no matter how credible or bizarre they are, just list). I bet I have seen at least at least one original brand personality type start-up presented here on HN some years ago and another brand new one advertised on Google+ when it was a thing. I have probably stumbled upon at least 6 or more but can't remember any other than MBTI, the Socionics, and the Enneagram. I'm very interested in this subject.

I have had to take the DISC inventory for one of my jobs, although it seems mostly derivative of antecedent personality inventories. I didn’t gain dramatically more insight into my own personality style from the DISC than I did from any other metric. I’ll add to that the Strengthsfinder inventory. It’s clearly a consultancy gimmick, but I did find it somewhat meaningful in figuring out how to relate to colleagues with divergent ‘strengths’ from my own. It’s probably neither more nor less meaningful than any other personality inventory.
