Re: Myers-Briggs Is to Blame
I am a chemical engineer and a few years back I was working in a chemical plant. Our manager thought it would be a great fun idea if our team of engineers all did the Myers-Briggs. I don't remember my 4 letters, but I was an "Artisan" type, while everyone else was a "Field Commander" type! I fretted over this for some time as it appeared that I wasn't the "right" personality type for my job (as I fretted, I made hand-knitted, felted, beaded christmas ornaments, sewed some clothes, ... the test wasn't wrong). Only much later did I realize that a) it was a dumb idea to try to find out your employees' personality types, I should have just said no, and b) everyone else probably tailored their answers so that they all appeared to be rational, logical, leader types. Which probably means that they were.
