The Utility of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

Pittenger, David J.

Review of Educational Research, v63 n4 p467-88 Win 1993

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is evaluated using a unified view of test validity that requires that validity be considered from an approach requiring many sources of corroboration. A review of available literature suggests insufficient evidence to support the tenets and claims about the utility of the MBTI. (SLD)
