The MBTI is OK for getting people to think about individual differences but I question 
taking it seriously because of the reliability issues. For personnel decisions (i.e., 
selection, promotion) a test or battery needs higher reliability than for use in 
counseling. Unless the guidelines have changed recently, burden of proof for 
demonstrating job-related validities rests with the employer. The MBTI simply does not 
have high enough reliabilities to establish job-related validities.
