Like many people who are N's in the pseudoscientific Forer effect that is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I really fucking love maps.
It's no surprise then, that this site rocks my world.

You're right of course about the Myers-Briggs and related tests. It's quite pernicious - I think it encourages people not to understand themselves but to limit themselves.
But, yeah, maps fucking rock and so does that site.
Btw, did you go to the exhibition of maps at the Design Museum about a year (?) ago. It was really good.

As a light-hearted ice-breaker for a staff day, MBTI is ok. It might tell you things about your colleagues you might not realise, and indicate which girls might share your geeky preferences.
However, when it moves to being a tool used for recruitment, it becomes incredibly worrying. Imagine not getting a job becuase you were the wrong "type", regardless of ability?
I was aware of that exhibition, but I didn't get round to going. More fool me.
Considering the NY ratio, you wouldn't notice... Women are in fierce competition. It feels like the opposite ratio is true.
