梅尔夫·埃姆雷: 性格测试的原理

性格测试的原理

1942年，凯瑟琳·库克·布里吉斯和伊莎贝尔·布里吉斯·迈尔斯母女设计出了一份问卷，将人的性格分为16种。这就是迈尔斯-布里吉斯类型指标，简称MBTI。后来这项测试发展成为世界上使用最为广泛的性格测试。但性格测试真的能够揭示性格的真相吗？梅尔夫·埃姆雷（Merve Emre ）检验了这些测试的设计缺陷。【本片由Seoro Oh制作，Bethany Cutmore-Scott配音，Jellysound配乐】

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.
