I always find these sort of tests interesting because they only show you what people think of themselves, rather than like inherent traits. I always notice that I score low of organisation and stuff like that (is conscientiousness), which as you say are leadership traits. But I have always ended up accidentally in management in line every job I’ve had despite really really not wanting responsibility lmao. so like maybe I report lower than I am because i dont enjoy it? It’s a nice peek into how people see themselves!

mouse this is an interesting observation because something I’ve noticed is that women especially seem to have trouble with personality tests like this and I think it’s revealing of the common theory that women tend to undervalue themselves and their skills and abilities!!

mouse and I think it’s also revealing of the ways our preconceived notions of ourselves can lead to self sabotaging and limiting behavior

taterhole absolutely yes! My dad used to have myers briggs tests in one of the companies he worked for and he says they’re essentially useless in finding out about how people actually behave in their work, but is very revealing of how they perceive themselves to be and their intentions.

mouse this is also why self diagnosis via internet quiz or even diagnosis from a mental health provider who isn’t very skilled or well trained can be so bad because an important part of psychological assessments is the clinician’s observation of unconscious tells and deception lol
