Get Wealthfront’s high-yield cash account: http://cash.wealthfront.com/solved See full offer details below.The most popular personality test in the world was invented by a failed novelist at her dining room table, has never been scientifically validated, and predicts almost nothing useful about you. And yet 89 of the Fortune 100 use it, two million people take it every year, and entire careers get built on it. In this chapter, Mark and Drew break down why the MBTI is essentially a horoscope for smart people, why the Big Five is the single most replicated finding in all of psychology, and what the science actually tells you about which parts of your personality you can change, how fast, and at what age the door starts to close.
