We are none of us born totally self aware, and it seems some people have a better handle on it than others. Don't ask me why I'm a bloody chemist and prefer talking to lab instruments.

Good God if I hear one more fellow INTJ intimate they are Oh So Cool because Isaac Newton, Elizabeth Bennett, Dr. House or Sherlock Holmes "are" INTJs I'm going to start buying an arsenal over Internet just to prepare my future fall into madness.

The military does give this test, or, at least it did in the 90's through 2010. The VA also uses it when helping veterans with career placement and vocational training.
The Department of Defense loves Meyers-Briggs.

I like analyzing my personality and seeing what INTPs are "like" for the same reason I like reading about my horoscope or Chinese Zodiac — it's fun to be able to categorize myself. People like to belong to groups. But at least Meyers-Briggs is based on actual personal answers to questions, unlike the other two

I still don't know why people need to be told what their personality is. It seems like a mental disorder to not just know.

Hiding them doesn't make them go away. A lot of those apps constantly sit in the background and drain your battery or use up data. Hiding isn't enough, I want them gone.

I have a 3GS on a T-mobile value plan that is without data and they never turned the data on. And even if they did I changed all the settings to turn data off.

Solution: Just get a prepaid. I took out my prepaid sim from my candybar phone and stuck it in a smartphone. No nastygram from T-Mo.

I'll be the first one to say AT&T sucks, but how is changing your friend's plan "dishonest"? Did they ever say they wouldn't change your friend's plan to a smartphone plan? Surely he didn't think he could just pop his SIM into a smartphone and have nothing happen.

Prepay is definitely the way to go, particularly T-Mobile's Gold plan, which doesn't force you to consume minutes faster than you'd like. Toss in money at least once a year and you'll never lose a minute. I just wish T-Mobile would add limited data access to prepay and work out a cooperative relationship with Google

Obviously, not every phone has these problems—some may have okay battery life, or get fewer dropped calls, but we went a little tongue-in-cheek for the sake of humor.

And it's like projecting a 3D object onto a 2D surface. The Five Factor Model that psychologists use is a little more useful than the wholly outdated MBTI.

If ever there was a sign to flee a sinking ship, it's when someone from the Top institutes an absurd and insane policy and there are no voices brave — or smart — enough to speak out and stop it.

The questions have nothing to do with qualifications. It would be things like "Do you consider yourself talkative or hard-working?". I have taken a few and most seem just like those "Which character from Naruto are you?" type personality quizzes that have no real bearing on anything ever. I don't think it smug to say

I've taken the MBTI multiple times over the years and score wildly differently.

Amen to that... I don't know how much time I wasted on that bull crap.

They use those tests for fast food places, too. Wendy's and Taco Bell uses them.

That's exactly it. You may have been over qualified and they don't see you sticking around once the economy gets better.

Now if we can just get them to show those online job questionnaires for what they really are. I've missed out on 2 retail jobs because some not-checked-by-a-human question system decided I was not what they were looking for. Really, how hard is it to work for JCPenny or Sprint?
