I am going to talk about the MBTI test. The MBTI test is a test created by Alex Dupont in order to know which of the 16 personnalities you are. You can pass the test online and multiple times. The result will tell you if you are more introverted, extroverted, intuitive, sensitive, more of a thinking type or a feeling type and if you are "judgmental" or perceiving. During our psychology license, a professor told us that this test wasn't valid. There are many reasons to why it is a bad test, but there are still people who uses it, and even recruters uses it in order to recrute the perfect candidate. This test puts you in a box, and will tell you if you are part of the rarest type. Many people compare this test to astrology, because you can do something bad and say that it is because of your type. But also, the feeling of being different from others is the reason why MBTI is popular. People need to feel different, to have something on their own. But what they don't realise is that your "actual" type is supposed to not change. For many people, it will change. But it cannot, because it has something to do with the cognitive functions, something that doesn't change because of your mood or because you want to be part of the rarest type. Futhermore, we can see that a lot of people will claim to be a certain type when they are actually not.
