Kids, skip more school! :D :D absolutely great conclusion, couldn't agree more!
Myers Briggs is utter crap though. I believe JBP never mentioned it (cannot be sure though) and there is a reason for that. Big Five is scientific, MB is more like an elaborate version of earth, fire, air, water - 4 elements - or 4 "human juices" (Galen).
Haha. Doesn't the Myers-Briggs assessment accurately analyze a person's tendencies and preferences though? Or is it just too general?
Sorry to disappoint you three, but it is utter crap. It is mainly used in North-America. Very few practitioners and practically no scientists and universities use it in Europe. The practitioners which use it are usually coaches and they can use it successfully, because it really markets very well. It leaves a first impression of validity, it seems reasonable, it is wonderful to be able to combine 4x facets so easily, to assign you to one rainbow-color.
You don't get 4 traits in testing and literature though. It's either three (PEN) or (big) five (OCEAN) (big six doesn't seem to be too big of a topic anymore but I could be wrong).
It's even in the press. Type myers briggs and unreliable/unreliability and you'll find tons of articles, some directly referencing scientific papers.
Just examples:

I don't think it is "utter crap." It accurately analyzes how a person responds to their environment and their natural social proclivities.
See answer I gave to the asiancapitalists up this thread please :).
