Look, I too have read Jung and agree with what you're saying here, but this is emphatically NOT how MBTI tends to be used in corporate settings, which is what everyone else in this thread is talking about.
- _yb2s 2y agoI agree, it is being misunderstood and misused. Instead of using it as a tool for deep introspection, it seems to be used for the condescending purpose of “fabricating a mystical 3rd party authority get our idiot employees to notice that people have different personalities and everyone else isn’t just a carbon copy of them.” Which sounds like an irredeemably awful workplace situation, and I don’t envy people in it.
