Study Notes

Personality Tests

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was developed by Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers.
The MBTI focuses on four dimensions: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving to classify people into personality types.
The Big Five personality test scores participants on five different traits: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
A challenge associated with self-reported personality tests is the reliance on individuals' honest and accurate reporting of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Objective self-evaluation is tricky in personality tests because people may not be aware of their true preferences, or they may be influenced by social desirability bias, which leads to inaccurate responses.
