以INTJ自居是怎样一种心理?MBTI 测试能否主观改变测试
作为临床心理从业人员,我不太理解那些经常把MBTI类型挂在嘴边,当成身分象征、识人标准甚至人生指引的人是怎么回事。一个近百年前发明的模型,一个整体可靠性成疑,没有效度量表的测试,被一群人弄成了cult一样的东西,当成真理那样尊崇,甚至用来给内心的stereotype找借口,用来拉帮结派攻伐异己。MBTI本身或许有一定学术参考价值,但被这样搞法,我看距离星座学、血型学也不远了。
CAPT发布的MBTI专业守则,很多应用MBTI的人恐怕看都没看过:
Interpreting MBTI® Results
The administrator must use terms and descriptors that are nonjudgmental and describe type attributes as tendencies, preferences, or inclinations rather than as absolutes. Biased terms may slant interpretation or send messages that a particular preference is "good" or "not desirable".
The administrator should be careful not to over generalize or over simplify results and imply that all people of a certain type behave the same way.
One should not state or imply that type explains everything. Type does not reflect an individual"s ability, intelligence, likelihood of success, emotions, or normalcy. Type is one important component of the complex human personality.
The administrator should not impose the results on the respondent nor become defensive if the respondent disagrees with the reported results or does not believe they are accurate. One should explore the perceived differences and help the respondent to be comfortable with themselves.
Administrators need to be aware of, and sensitive to their own type biases and exert every effort to present feedback in an objective way.
It is unethical and in many cases illegal to require job applicants to take the Indicator if the results will be used to screen out applicants. The administrator should not counsel a person to, or away from, a particular career, personal relationship or activity based solely upon type information.
Administrators should accurately represent their competence and experience to clients.
Administrators should continually upgrade their knowledge of the Indicator and advances in the understanding and application of type through education (workshops, seminars, conferences), reading, or other means.
Administrators should provide the respondent with materials that describe all 16 types.
这就是为什么真正的人格测试需要交由专业人士进行一对一面对面的评估,绝不能单靠机械规则来解读。这也是为什么负责任的心理测量师不会把原始数据结果直接交给受试者。
