Merve Emre: Da li testovi ličnosti funkcionišu?

Da li testovi ličnosti funkcionišu?

Godine 1942, dvojac majke i ćerke, Ketrin Kuk Brigs i Izabel Brigs Majers, razvile su upitnik koji je klasifikovao ličnosti ljudi u 16 ​​tipova. Nazvan Majer-Brigsov indikator tipa, ili MBTI, postao je jedan od najšire korišćenih testova ličnosti na svetu. Ali da li ovi testovi zaista otkrivaju istine o ličnosti? Merve Emre ispituje njihove nedostatke u dizajnu. [režija: Seoro O; naracija: Betani Katmor-Skot; muzika: Jellysound].

Personality tests like the Myers-Briggs have become a multi-billion dollar industry and are widely used by companies and schools. Yet nearly half of people assigned a Myers-Briggs type will get a different result if they retake the test five weeks later. The questions are often overly simplistic, encourage bias, and ignore the shifting nature of personality over time. Research shows that our personalities are shaped by life experiences and can change, making precise measurement elusive.
