Book Review of The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing

reviewed on + 625 more book reviews


The introduction to this book put me on guard that the author approached her subject with a negative attitude from the start. She opines there that personality tests per se "annihilate individuality" and oppress people in the workplace. I found this kind of shocking, but I guess she sees herself more as a cultural critic than a reporter.
