Most of the research supporting the MBTI's validity has been produced by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, an organization run by the Myers-Briggs Foundation, and published in the center's own journal, the Journal of Psychological Type (JPT), raising questions of independence, bias, and conflict of interest.[4]
Though the MBTI resembles some psychological theories, it has been criticized as pseudoscience[5] and is not widely endorsed by academic researchers in the psychology field.[6] The indicator exhibits significant scientific (psychometric) deficiencies, notably including:
poor validity (i.e. not measuring what it purports to measure, not having predictive power or not having items that can be generalized);
poor reliability (giving different results for the same person on different occasions);
measuring categories that are not independent (some dichotomous traits have been noted to correlate with each other);
not being comprehensive (due to missing neuroticism).[7][8][9][10]
The four scales used in the MBTI have some correlation with four of the Big Five personality traits, which is a more commonly accepted framework.[by whom?].[11]
Personality type: Advocate (INFJ-T)
Traits: Introverted – 86%, Intuitive – 63%, Feeling – 51%, Judging – 57%, Turbulent – 56%
Role: Diplomat
Strategy: Constant Improvement
