Friendly reminder: Myers-Briggs was developed by two white supremacist eugenicists, with the goal of "scientifically proving" the superiority of the white race. When it failed to do that, they remarketed it as a "personality indicator" for the corporate business circuit.

In addition to coauthoring the Myers-Briggs test, Isabel Briggs Myers wrote two mystery novels. Here is the plot of the second one.

Ironically, because the Myers-Briggs test is *not* backed by any scientific evidence, it's legal for employers, schools, etc. to require it even in situations where requiring medical or psychological exams would be considered discriminatory.

Some critics argue that Myers-Briggs is sometimes even used to sidestep nondiscrimination statues.
