Well, I have the sense that this website is somehow connected with the M/B test:
http://www.meyersbriggs.com
and the site is replete with purchasing opportunities.
Similarly, this website is run by the owners of the Meyers-Briggs instrument,
and they seem more than happy to sell the user all kinds of stuff:
http://www.cpp.com/products/mbti/index.asp
Maybe there are web-based "freeware" incarnations of the test, but so what?
That doesn't change my thesis, which is that this product is sold as an accurate
method of personal and professional evaluation, and it is poorly suited to that
role.
Dave!
