Doesn’t the MBTI pigeonhole people?
Knowing a person’s type does not tell you all about them, nor will it accurately predict his or her behavior 100% of the time. People are much more than just their type. Knowing your own type does not in any way limit what you can or should do. Your type is not a box you live within. (Nor is it an excuse for doing or not doing anything!) In the APT Qualifying Training we often describe the type table as a house with 16 rooms. Each person has a favorite room, but no one spends all their time there – we can and do function in many different modes, sometimes even surprising ourselves. It is, however, very useful information to know what your own or another person’s “favorite room” is like.
