Myers-Briggs and Job Searches

A well known instrument measuring personality types is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).  A person may be designated in one of sixteen personality types based on responses to the Myers-Briggs instrument.  Please review the following link for more information about the MBTI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator.

The question is does knowing your MBTI assist you in finding a job?  Job listings typically do not indicate the MBTI appropriate for the open position.  Perhaps they should. Here is a link to a description of the MBTI types:

I suggest that you take the Myers-Briggs instrument and then search for jobs that match your profile. For example I am type ESTJ and found the following link to jobs for me:

Please share with readers of this blog the results of your job search by posting a comment or emailing me at glynjordan@gmail.com.
