I will shite on Myers-Brigg as it has no profitable impact on my organization. Furthermore, my previous employer would use M-B as well. Both companies lack the follow through to actually use the data for corporate gain.

Any supervisor worth a damn should already know what makes their employees tick. If you need a doggone quiz that is best left to Cosmopolitan magazine then that supervisor needs to spend more time with his direct reports. There are so many better ways to influence employee productivity and inclusion.

If you don't find any benefit in it, then OK.

I would contend that it's not really useful for large-scale implementation. You're right, most times organizations never follow-through and the whole test and analysis ends up being a waste of time. I think it's more suited for smaller organizations or only for groups of colleagues that have to work a lot together. Not for entire offices.

If you're a good manager who intuitively understands your direct reports, then that's great. A lot of managers need some additional tools to help them manage.

I can say unequivocally that M-B has helped my work relationship with my supervisor and direct reports. As a result, we've experienced a lot of increased efficiency, and less bullshite meetings and discussions.

Yeah, I've taken Myers Briggs for two of my jobs, but they've only done it right out of the gate instead of waiting a long time. I think it's a good indicator to management who they will be dealing with and how to handle them. Not as useful for a manager who has known his team for a long time, but it's a good head start indicator on how to handle your new employee.

I think it is wise to know when to display emotions and when to delay emotions. I am of the school that it is never wise to display emotions while you are experiencing them.

You misspelled "Women".

I cannot stand public displays of emotion, especially from men. I have to change the channel when they show a grown man crying in an interview.

Nope. Will check it out.

link? I dont see it.

So you volunteer at the soup kitchen. Do you think those who come through the line are your peers?

I used to tell my ex that I didn't care and that I wasn't paying attention when she whined and bitched. That is part of the reason why she is my ex

What makes you so uncomfortable about seeing someone being emotional?
