For “Organizational Use”: the people who designed and own Myers-Briggs say this is a bad idea -
> The MBTI® assessment is not intended for use in selection of job candidates, nor for making internal decisions regarding job placement, selection for teams or task forces, or other similar activities. […] Given that it is not appropriate for selection, there have been no meaningful studies evaluating the MBTI’s ability to predict job performance. Established researchers in the field of predicting job performance would not use the MBTI assessment for this purpose.

- cm2012 1y agoThis is accurate for three reasons: 1) MBTI cannot be used adversarially - if people know certain types are preferred, they will answer to the test. 2) MBTI is strictly worse than Big 5 in study design since it doesnt have continuous variables and they correlate anyway. 3) There are huge liability issues if you say your product will help you hire or promote in the united states. Like q tips saying you can't ever use them in your ears.
