Document Summary
A broad band test is one that measures the full range of functioning, as opposed to limited aspects. Enduring question: how best to conceptualize the multifaceted notion of personality. A forced-choice, self-report inventory that attempts to classify persons according to an adaptation of carl jung"s theory of personality types. Here, commercial success and rate of usage doesn"t equate validity; no empirical evidence that supports its use. Most widely used individual test in history; valuable in vocational guidance and organizational consulting. Extraversion-introversion: only thing that"s valid as a construct, extravert - energy outward to people and conversations. Introvert - energy inward to his or her inner world. Sensing-intuition: sensing - relying on immediate senses. Intuition - relationships and possibilities that have been worked out beyond the reach of the conscious mind. Thinking-feeling: thinking - basing conclusions on logic and objectivity, feeling - base conclusions on reliance on personal values and social harmony. Judging-perceiving: perceiving - preference for open-ended flexibility and spontaneity.
