Sherlock Holmes was an INTP. Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP...
What do these words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality types. The MBTI is very popular. More than 1.5 million people take it every year.
However, the MBTI is not an accurate(精准的) way to discover something as changeable as a person's personality. Neither of its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, was a trained psychologist(心理学家). What's more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings.
Then how has this test managed to become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung's Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children's interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test. While people may be different from one another, they are all created equal. This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI's success: The test never paints a personality in any negative light.
The MBTI may not be the best way of assessing one's personality, but this doesn't mean it's totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way.
