Re: Myers-Briggs test

The MMPI is new, and while it's used often I wouldn't call it the most respected, just the best for research purposes as it is much easier to perform statistics tests with. Myers-Briggs was essentially the reason other personality indexes even exist, so yeah, I'd say the level of respect is up there.

I never said it was the most accurate or comprehensive personality index out ther... to use an analogy, the same can be said for traditional IQ testing vs. newer versions of the IQ test. What I am saying is that the Myers-Briggs index is still the IQ test of personality; it's the most well known outside of psych circles and most widely used outside of research.

By that logic, we should say Freudian dream interpretation is "the most respected" because it's used in "What does your dream mean?" quizzes on the Internet and pop magazines. Well-known doesn't mean respected, widely-used doesn't mean respected, especially when its popularity is outside of the actual field it is supposed to represent. I mean hell, by that logic, the zodiac is widely-respected and useful as well, after all, people have been believing that for thousands of years.

If you agree, then I'm confused as to why you snidely dismissed OP's claim that it was stupid (which, psychologists say, it is) and said it was the most respected personality index, though now you're saying it isn't.
