MBTI & Recommendations

The other day, Anon mentioned the new book The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing.

For anyone interested, the (ENTJ) author is this week’s guest on the podcast Think Again:

“But what happens when the murky philosophy and psychology of the self meet good-old American pragmatism and business? Something very weird indeed.

I'm here today with Merve Emre—she's an associate professor of English at Oxford University and she's the author of The Personality Brokers.

It tells the strange history of The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator—a mother-daughter psychological cottage industry that, 70 years in, still has people calling themselves introverts or extraverts, feelers or thinkers, and pondering what that might mean for their lives and their careers.”
