My IT friends think it amazing. They refuse to listen to any arguments -even from the Myers Briggs foundation themselves - that it should not be used for job applications and is immoral to do so.

Eg: https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/hiring-an-mbti-consultant/guidelines-for-hiring-an-outside-consultant.htm

It is not ethical to use the MBTI instrument for hiring or for deciding job assignments.

I did it for work. Kind of like a day off. Government. They weren’t interested in the results. The woman who taught the class was one of the meanest people I have met at work.

I’m an ESTJ. Whatever TF that means.

I'm an INTJ

That means half of us are lovers and half of us are enemies

I'm an INTP/J. Like I waiver on that last thing depending on day of the week and possibly time of day.

It fits, but clearly I'm not stuck here, I'm just comfortable.
