Deep dives
Personality tests and their accuracy
Personality tests, such as Myers-Briggs, have been found to have lower predictive accuracy compared to the Big Five personality model. In a study comparing these two tests, the Big Five demonstrated twice as much accuracy in predicting various outcomes of people's lives. The Myers-Briggs test fell in between astrology (which had 0% predictive accuracy) and the Big Five. The limited accuracy of the Myers-Briggs test may be attributed to its dichotomous nature, which oversimplifies the complexity of personality traits.
