Two of the most commonly misunderstood psychological tests are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Rorschach Inkblot Test. Thus, toward understanding both of them better, read two books: Emre’s (2019) The Personality Brokers: The Strange History of Myers-Briggs and the Birth of Personality Testing and Searls’ (2018) The Inkblots: Hermann Rorschach, His Iconic Test, and the Power of Seeing. Then write a paper, describing in simple language, the logic behind each of the two tests; and whether neither, both, or only one of the techniques should be considered a sound psychological test (with rationale provided). Conclude your paper with a collective statement on the use of historical non-fiction as a source of psychological data.
Describe and explain the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Rorschach Inkblot Test.
