Post Jungian personality system......
Used, as Wikipedia notes, during WW II, great watershed event, to help women be incorporated into the wartime workforce.
I first took the test, many years ago.
It showed I was 'the Inventor'. ENTP.
Not a 'type' apparently supposed to be appropriate for parentage, at all!! Inventors should never procreate.
We were advised not to have any children with this personality profile.
I took a similar Myers Briggs test, many years later, at the office. It showed, at that time, that I was the most 'well balanced' tested personality, of the 12 or 13 people who took the test in the office.
This result was announced to us all at an office meeting. Many people in the office were taken somewhat aback by this 'finding'............
Many different implications might be drawn from these bare bones factual musings.
Do 'inventors' not procreate,
even if they turn out,
according to the very same criteria,
to be better balanced than many other different character examples?
Rather a ridiculous series of events, to say the least.......
Should a society which has inventors prevent them eugenically from procreating?
Then, question, isn't this rather cutting off one's intellectual nose to spite one's ostensible societal face?
These are some of the rather odd conclusions one might draw from this strange psychological schematism,
and its very different, and potentially conflicting, and explosive, 'clinical applications'.
Terms search social science, philosophy, etc.
