astrology for guys in suits

Naw they already made that, it’s called the “Myers-Briggs Type Indicator”.

Different parts of astrology. The MBTI stuff replaces the horoscope/personality side of things, whereas chart reading replaces the future readings.

And apparently my team at work. It’s more of a curiosity (oh, you’re somewhat extroverted? Interesting!), and it gives us a chance to ask questions to get to know a new hire.

If you’re making actual decisions based on the MBTI test, then that’s on you. But it’s kinda fun to compare.

It’s used widely for actual hiring decisions. If you’re qualified for a job but they want an INTJ but you’re an ENTJ according the overgrown Facebook quiz, you get a rejection letter.

It’s unethical as fuck, and absolutely rampant in corporate America.

Now, as a team building exercise or role play to get to know potential clientele, yeah no harm.

Wow, really? We only do it like a couple weeks after hiring, and you can respectfully refuse. We just do it as a “get to know you” meeting so we can get the team familiar with the new hire.
