I'm not a fan of it and I definitely hate its popularity in companies, where it truly has no valid use imo.
But people do seem to find it useful as a tool for personal introspection, making it similar to tarot, astrology, i ching, etc. Meaningless maybe but not worthless per se.
- runarberg 4y agoI think the difference is that tarots and astrology are mainly used recreationaly while personal psychology is used more by professionals claiming benefits then by the general public just having fun. Horoscope authors are more like folk preachers or entertainers than scientists, personality psychologists are still mascaraing as scientists. While plenty of people are being scammed using astrology, way more people are just spending little to no money just having fun. Personality psychology is overwhelmingly businessmen selling snake oil.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoYes good point.
