06. Myers Briggs - Brilliant or Bulls**t..?


Listen Later

You've probably done a Myers Briggs (MBTI) survey - you may even know which 4 letter combination you are.

But, how accurate is it really?

In this episode, Business Psychologist (and lead consultant at Oblong), Leanne Elliott digs into psychometric tests, and starts by asking if the MBT is as good as they say it is.

You'll hear her draw on both her decade of recruitment & engagement, as well as explaining the science behind it all.

Let's dive in!

PS. Here are links that are mentioned in the show:

  • Myers Briggs 
  • 16 Personalities
  • The SHL Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32)
  • Real World Group Leader - use this for recruitment of leaders
  • Real World Group Leader - use this for the development of existing leaders
  • Hogan Personality Inventory tool
