Boy, they've come a long way from the 70/80's when they used the 4-hours-to-fill-out MMPI (Minnestota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). I once tried to "game" that test, once I detected that they used the same questions, re-worded, repeatedly. Gave different answers each time.

Didn't work. They caught on and made me take it again. Just goes to show clever does not necessarily = smart. :)
Hm ... does that mean people actually use it for hiring/evaluation purposes?

Just asking because my understanding from the communication training for which we took the test was, that the MBTI should never be used for categorization of people e.g., for hiring.
It should rather be a help to better understand your own personal approach in communications and problem solving (as compared to other people)
