How accurately will the MBTI® assessment determine my preferences?
You will probably be amazed at how closely the MBTI® assessment describes you. It is estimated that over 75% of those taking the MBTI® find that it accurately determines their preferences. Psychologists use two terms to describe how a questionnaire performs. One term, reliability, measures the ability of the assessment to reproduce similar results on subsequent applications; 70% reproducibility is considered excellent. The MBTI® assessment has been determined to be about 85% reliable. The other determining factor is validity. Validity refers to the degree with which the assessment measures what it is supposed to measure. This is a rather technical term and is deemed to be relatively high for the MBTI® assessment as evidenced by the 75% consensus outlined above.
