Once past the M-14 I don't know shit from shinola about guns. I was pretty good with the M-14 though.

The MBTI and Strong were used to have a coordinated basis for helping the clients self-direct themselves into appropriate jobs or job training programs, where they were likely to have the best chance of success in getting off of public assisstance, and through increases in income from employment, eventually disqualifying themselves from their Section 8 certificate or voucher.

Regarding your closing paragraph...I'm unsure of your point. Are you talking about somebody having someone else complete the instrument for them? Why would anybody bother. No competent human resources manager would be hiring anybody based on their MBTI profile.

You have way more experience with the testing, As of this thread I was unaware of it.

My point on the taking of the test. I think when one is taking the test especially one with choices from most likely to least likely IIRC at least 5 one could be lying to themselves or picking the answer most comfortable. No real world problems with choices and actions I found.

Have someone that knows you fill it out or better yet many who do, as to what they think about you would be more weighted. Filling it out as to the person they see not the one you see.

Aimless? Hardly!

You missed my point when I changed my avatar.

With almost all of the clients to whom I administered the MBTI, it was my first clinical activity with them. Handed them the booklet and answer sheet and sent them home. They dropped the sheet off at the agency, I scored it and we set up session 2 to provide them wit the results and what it was all about. Neither they, nor I had any prior experience with each other. So any "weighting" was not an issue.

The questions on the instrument are purposefully structured to be as neutral as possible so as best to avoid any client tendency to try to give "right" answers. Its pretty impossible to know what a "right" answer would be.

Thanks...I kinda already knew that but I thought the use of some historical reference might make my post a little....lyrical?

I thought this was a psych thread. What's up with the ammosexual crap?

Did someone test positive for paranoid delusional?

Okay, I took the Kiersey test.

It told me pretty much the same thing.

You say that as if any thread in this forum stays on topic from start to finish.
