CPP sets the record straight about the world’s most popular personality assessment 
CPP, Inc., the exclusive publisher of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI® ) instrument, takes on more folk tales in part 2 of its series debunking misconceptions about the world's most popular personality assessment. (If you missed part 1, here it is: http://bit.ly/1chx5q).
It describes preferences, all of which are considered normal and healthy. While it can identify potential blind spots, such as stress triggers, it doesn’t identify flaws. It cannot reveal your mental state, level of self-awareness, or your effectiveness. 
FACT 
myth 
The MBTI assessment is value-neutral. It is not designed to be used as a screening tool. 
The MBTI assessment might expose my personality flaws.
FACT 
myth 
Some personality types tend to be liberal and some conservative. 
Type can indicate preferences for idealism vs. pragmatism but not political ideas. 
For example, the INFP description of “idealistic and passionate about causes important to them,” could as equally describe one concerned with animal rights as someone dedicated to constitutional rights.
FACT 
myth 
Type descriptions pigeonhole people. 
Type never describes abilities or limitations, only preferences. 
Type preferences reflect out innate or “shoes-off” self. We all can, and should, develop beyond our natural preferences. We use all of the eight preferences but are most comfortable using the four reflected in our MBTI type code.
FACT 
myth 
The MBTI assessment is a personality test. 
It’s not a test –there are no right or wrong answers. 
Rest assured –you cannot fail the MBTI assessment. No type is superior to any other.
While Carl Jung’s theories, which underpin the instrument, are part of common academic knowledge, the MBTI assessment is built on 70 years of research and data. Free assessments aren’t –that’s why they’re free. 
FACT 
myth 
There are no free versions of the Myers-Briggs assessment. The real Myers-Briggs assessment can only be taken through its publisher, CPP, a CPP distributor or a certified practitioner. 
Free versions of MBTI assessment are available online.
