I'm seeing a lot of Myers-Briggs personality test results on my friends page. It bugs me. I am adamantly against pop-psych and the MBPS is just that. No supporting research, no statistical validity, vague definitions, open interpretations... Its not even used in a clinical setting. You don't need some crappy test to tell you about yourself, and if you do then you might as well use one that has years of research behind it.
I suggest the "big five," otherwise known as the OCEAN personality inventory.
