Testing Who You Are
If you were asked to describe your personality, you might choose words such as \u201cfunny\u201d and \u201coutgoing,\u201d or \u201cshy\u201d and \u201cquiet.\u201d But what if those were not quite the right words? The Myers-Briggs - which many of us have taken - promises to assess your personality, and assign you a specific \u201ctype.\u201d In her book, \u201cThe Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the birth of Personality Testing\u201d Merve Emre examines the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (which is its full name), and how it has transformed the way we think about ourselves and those around us.
