Each person of a "type" will still have unique differences
The biggest problem with it is that there’s no validity to these “types”. Taking a unimodal normal distribution and just calling everyone below the mode one type and everyone above the mode another type, is not only completely arbitrary but just plain wrong from a statistical perspective. That is, it won’t yield predictions with any accuracy.
In order to show that there actually are real types they need to show a bimodal (or multimodal) distribution. As far as I’m aware, no one has done that.
- runarberg 4y agoI think it is actually worse. I don’t know about Myers Briggs, but other personality tests actually adjust and standardize their metrics in order to find a bell curve. They believe there is something pristine or divine about the normal distribution, and if you find it you have found a holy truth. If you find something else, you should adjust your metrics until you do.
