Myers-briggs is reliable sort of because people difer moment to moment. Myers-briggs is not really valid because for personality tests, we can see if they correlate with something else that depends on personality (job it and job success) Personality paradox : people"s behavior is less consistent than a stable trait would suggest. People difer from moment to moment, behavior is afected by power of the situaion (we do same thing at a red light, goals vary across situaitons) Infant temperament: infant"s tendency toward paricular emoional and behavioral response to speciic situaions. Infants demonstrate diferent behaviors than adults, but display similar emoions. Personality traits are relaively stable if you look at ranks.
