It’s not really used for profiling so much as it a way to communicate preferences in how you work / how you get energy

Your over worrying, the Myers Briggs just gives them a general idea of whether you would most likely fit into roles that could play to your strengths. E over I would imply more client readiness potentially, T over F would imply a strong ability to be logical rather than emotional, and so on and so forth. Its fun to do, I’ve been doing the tests for years you learn a bit about yourself and btw you can evolve so it’s not set in stone and your environment/perspective can influence results

First of all, it's BS so don't worry about it. That you get different ones every time shows you that it's not reliable.

If you want real and validated personality results, you can check out places like hexaco.org.

Second of all, it's mentioned at McKinsey but not that often and is not that important. It should be even less important. I never mention mine (because it's BS, see above) which is no problem.

Hopefully we move away from this crap soon :)
