Re: The Use of Personality Assessment in Team Decisions
I did a research project on the reliability and validity of the MBTI for a science symposium in my community. My results indicate that the MBTI was not very reliable, and should not be used for anything other than a fun self-assessment. Please, do your team members a favor and don't use this to make any kind of decision. Maybe don't use it en masse at all, because once you associate a trait with a person, those preconceptions can be hard to shake. I understand that it's fun and all, but people are complex human beings who deserve to be treated as such.
Addendum: I can share my research if anyone is interested, as well as research by others in psychology (mine may be of limited usefulness due to sample size limitations)
