Have to say I’m synical about MBTI, IMHO they are a mix of voodo magic and self fullfilling prophacy.
And as if to prove it, I sometimes comes out as an Extrovert and sometimes an Introvet, depends on my mood and the amount of coffee I’ve drunk

Interesting thoughts Allan Kelly, what I love about MBTI is that it isn’t a test or a way to pigeon hole you into one ”type’’ but for you to understand your preferences in life and be aware of how we, as people will take in information and make decisions differently.

For Myers-Briggs; I flip between ENTJ/ENTP (and a bit of an ambivert so the I versions of these!). From DISC; preference is also varied and depends on when working under stress or not. Completed other leadership colour / insights quizzes – one of which early in my career led me to leave the company who I had the test with as it wasn̵…

Absolutely agree on the last statement. When I was at Cranfield, a major firm was asked not to use one of their ’personalities’ tests as the results were unrecognisable and the head of organisational psychology described it as ’bo***cks’ .
