a good article http://digg.com/2015/myers-briggs-secret-historyquote:Yet though her creation is everywhere, Myers and the details of her life's work are curiously absent from the public record. Not a single independent biography is in print today. Not one article details how Myers, an award-winning mystery writer who possessed no formal training in psychology or sociology, concocted a test routinely deployed by 89 of the Fortune 100 companies, the US government, hundreds of universities, and online dating sites like Perfect Match, Project Evolove and Type Tango. And not one expert in the field of psychometric testing, a $500 million industry with over 2,500 different tests on offer in the US alone, can explain why Myers-Briggs has so thoroughly surpassed its competition, emerging as a household name on par with the Atkins Diet or The Secret.

indigi posted:idk I thought it was mostly overindulgent nonsense. it could have been half as long and just as good if not better nah it was literary journalism and the experience of the weird cult-like testing phase is a big part of it. she didn't get access to the files so it had to be a more general look at the test and its creator. and she had to lead you up to the implications at the end, because they wouldn't work unless you understood the whole process of reporting.
