    The document discusses two approaches to assessing personality: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Five Factor Model. The MBTI categorizes people into types based on preferences for introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. However, evidence suggests it is not a valid measure of personality and forces people into categories. The Five Factor Model focuses on the dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness that are expressed in dealing with people and changing situations. While widely used, the MBTI is best as a tool for self-awareness rather than job selection.

    Conclusion

    MBTI is widely used in practice by major organizations like apple computers, AT&T, Citi Group & so on. Most evidences suggest that it is not a valid measure of personality. It forces person into either one type or the other, there is no inbetween. It can be a tool for increasing self -awareness & providing career guidance but not as a selection test for job candidates.
