Good job completely dismissing arguments because you don't like the author. I mean, it's not a brilliant article, but he does make some good points. Such as: The Myers-Briggs assumes that who we are is consistent from one situation to another [...] according to some studies, more than half of those who take the test a second time end up with a different score than when they took it the first time. Since personality is continuous, not dichotomous, clearly some people who are borderline Introverts or Feelers one week slide over to Extroversion or Thinking the next week. And since personality is contingent, not stable, how we answer is affected by which circumstances are foremost in our minds when we take the test.
