• So many people I know through the workplace have done the Myers Briggs nonsense and hold onto their persona like a badge of pride. They’re well meaning, intelligent people who don’t know the background of MB and how it’s as scientifically rigorous as those paper chatterboxes we made in school to help you find out which boy you were going to marry by picking a colour.

    I don’t say anything when people bring it up. I also have a few star sign friends. Sigh.

      I remember when this nonsense was new and all the rage… I took a full online test, like 200 questions, about 6 different times over about 3 months.

      Turns out, the test results changed a lot depending on my current mood, recent experiences and stress level.

      It baffles me that still to this day even many professionals and business people think this has any merit.

      People who unironically believe in astrology are worse though. Which is a shame, because seemingly nearly everyone on a dating app of any kind is basically either a religious conservative, or a weed addicted astrology believing ‘leftist’.
