Strengths and Weaknesses of Self
Strengths and Weaknesses of Self-Report Inventories My personality type is INTJ. I have taken his test on a number of occasions throughout my life and my findings are the same. What strikes me as different was that the scores did not add up to a whole percentage of 100. By this result I had a very low percentile in thinking and low percentile in judging.

I can 't think of a better use of the MBTI in the hiring process. It lets the new hire know 'we value you, want you to succeed, and want to help you fit into our company.
Self-report inventories are often a good solution when researchers need to administer a large number of tests in relatively short space of time. Another strength is that the results of self report inventories are generally much more reliable and valid than projective tests. Scoring of the tests a standardized and based on norms that have been previously established. However, self report inventories do have their
