IMHO: Meyers-Briggs tells everyone they're ok and that's ok. We're all different things at different time and we're all valuable. Big Five says you're useful

Big Five says you're useful and pleasant to be around, but you, over there, are a useless pain in the ass. AND there's almost nothing you can do about it without a lot of hard work, and even then you'll regress, but don't worry, as we age we get better.
- ironmagma 5y agoBig Five is just a clustering model. It’s descriptive, nothing to do with etiology or prognosis.
- kleer001 5y agoBy "Big Five says" I mean "Lots of studies using the Big 5 model have found..." Of course, a model is inert. How could someone think otherwise?

- ironmagma 5y agoIt's really not clear though, are you saying that's bad? Or that the model is bad because of these studies? Or that the studies are bad because of the model?
- kleer001 5y agoI'm saying that Meyer's Briggs is BS and the Big 5 model isn't. One is feel good fantasy and the other is hard reality. Investing time, money, and/or attention in a model with no basis in reality, in one that has no predictive or explanatory power is a bad idea.
