MYERS BRIGGS V ATHENA STAR WOMAN (RIP)
I’m sure if you’ve worked for a company before you’ve probably done some sort of psychometric testing. They love trying to box you into some sort of category to make sure they’re fitting you into the right hole. I’ve actually done heaps of this type of stuff. Not because I’m loopy or have emotional problems but because I wear adult diapers. Sorry want to wear adult diapers. After eating one of Desh’s fiery currys you would to.
The first real job I ever applied for back home required me to do five hours of this testing. Five hours of ticking answers to inane question after insane question while praying I didn’t mess up the sequencing and come out looking like Charles Bronson. Oops Manson. By the end I didn’t really care what I was ticking in. Do you like small breasted women? Tick Yes. Do you like large breasted women? Tick Yes. Okay maybe not the best example but you get the picture. (If I wasn’t tired I would of ticked Yes then No. Read into that what you will)
After completing the test I spent an hour being questioned by the company psychiatrist. What is it about these guys that make me want to spill my guts? I don’t think he wanted to hear about how sad I was after my first dog Lucky died but he was quite nice about it. I can’t remember where I was going with this story. Ah yes.
Once again I have been subject to the corporate machinations of an unfeeling legal entity. They made me do the Myers Briggs personality test! Again! Apparently put together by two students in the ye olden days before fun was invented. It was based on the works of some German psycho analyst. Not the Freud guy. Briefly, what they said was that a person’s personality could be defined between four ranges. Extrovert v Introvert, Sensing v Intuition, Thinking v Feeling and Judging v Perceiving. I’m not going to bore you with what each one means and if you’re interested you can check out this link.
Effectively there are sixteen possible personality types that you can be. I was an ISTP (Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving). For each type they have come up with traits common to each. I will post mine so that you can tell me how appropriate it is. I will also post a personality profile defined by my star sign. Which one will be more accurate?
