About 15 years ago, I was working as a contractor for a federal agency. The director got this bright idea to have everyone, both fed and contract, take the Myers-Briggs. I got through about the first 10 questions before I gave up in disgust and frustration. I was able to answer about 1 or 2 of the questions. On the rest, my answer was "two or more of the selections depending on the situation". Naturally, the situational background was never given. I decided I was too flexible to be pigeonholed. My boss was sympathetic. He pointed out that there is a Myers-Briggs pigeonhole for people who don't like the Myers-Briggs test. I'm still trying to figure out if he was pulling my leg 8-)
