BTW, I've never heard of Myers-Briggs, so don't know what you all are
talking about. I've gather that it's some sort of personality study
that might be used during company seminars?


Unfortunately, it is (or was, I think it's less fashionable now) used
in corporate settings. I think Myers-Briggs (or MBTI, which stands for
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is a lot of fun, and is even somewhat
useful for understanding other people, and knowing what kinds of people
you'd like to have around you, but it really has no place in a business
setting and shouldn't be used there. It's much too inexact to be useful
for something like making career choices, especially for other people -
such as your boss deciding what projects you'll work on or who you'll
work with, etc, based on your MBTI type.
