Teachers average among the least intelligent university graduates.
In a given year, the lowest-scoring groups on the GRE, SAT, and ACT are usually those pursuing degrees in education.
Any psychologist will tell you, the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator is mostly bullshit. Yet the majority of Fortune 500 companies use the test, several million people complete it each year, and some even base their love life on it.
Why?
The Big Five test is about twice as accurate as the Meyers-Briggs test for predicting life outcomes, placing the usefulness of the MBTI test halfway between science and astrology.
When we use personality tests that impose social categories—like the Meyers Briggs or Astrology—we risk exaggerating the differences between groups and the similarities within them. When this occurs with other types of identities like race or gender, we typically call it “stereotyping” and we try to avoid it. When consultants do it in companies, they can make money and do it on dubious scientific grounds.

Je soigne une famille Kabyle qui vit dans la rue.
L’Assistante sociale essaye de leur trouver un toit.
Très seuls, ils aimeraient trouver une autre famille kabyle à TOULOUSE avec qui diner et parler du pays (qui leur manque énormément).
