In reference to Claudia Canavan’s article, “Time for a new you”, I have been applying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator – which categorises people into 16 personality types – for over 30 years (27 September, p 23).
Despite often being dismissed, it has always “said” everyone is both an extrovert and introvert (just not equally so), and that we not only change our personality, but also do so in predictable ways depending on which personality style we start with. Sometimes, science is best applied by looking at the older models with a better eye than looking for new ones.
