This chapter discusses the essential psychological concepts of test reliability and test validity, emphasizing their role in ensuring the accuracy of the MBTI test. It underlines the significance of consistent results for reliability and the importance of the test measuring what it claims to for validity, before the speaker starts taking the MBTI test.

The MBTI Personality Test (aka "16 Personalities") is a very well-known and widely used test which claims to be able to give you a "freakishly accurate" analysis of your personality type. In this episode I take the test, explain the reasons for my answers, explain some vocabulary and give my thoughts on the test results and the test itself. Includes plenty of expressions for describing personality traits, behaviour, ways of thinking and feeling and the subject of psychological testing.
