Hello, again
Indeed, to apprpropriately use, interpret and apply results of psychometric instruments, one requires appropriate training. Once againm I will remind the Cite HR participants, that the use of tools in a manner inconsistent with testing protocols is a questionable practice.
Of course, I realise that some will say, but training is expensive and buying the tools ( instead of sharing copyrighted materials) is costly.
However, you as a PROFESSIONAL have an obligation to do the right thing. The ends do not justify the means, in my humble opinion.
Test developers, and workplace assessors spend time and consideral resources to develop their expertise. Futhermore, you do your employees an injustice to use tools that you are not familiar with.
As far as what do the "letters" for the MBTI mean... I suggest you do your homework and read. Sorry if I sound harsh, but as we all now, HR gets a bad reputation when we act in ways that suggest, anyone can perform well in HR by gathering a few tools and using them in a haphazard way. If we are calling ourselves " professional' that we need to abide by the code of ethics and body of knowledge generally accepted as one the pillars of a professional role
