What a long, sad trip it's been

OH MY GOD. You just brought back such bad memories. When I was at Tom's of Maine they forced us all to take the MB test and it was the most endless and time consuming and pointless undertaking. Worst of all they told us we'd only have to share the results with our "team" (i.e., our department) and instead we had to share them at a day-long workshop where THEY MADE US WEAR OUR LETTERS PINNED TO OUR CHESTS. As in, "Oh hi, I'm an IMTP, I see you're an INTJ." On top of that the results were supposed to gauge our strengths and instead they were used to "challenge" us to "step out of our comfort zones" -- in other words, to do work that we were unsuited for. I got railroaded into a promotions/sales position that made me absolutely miserable and that, along with other factors, made me quit the job before I found another one and led to my eventual ruin and very unwilling move back to NYC. I remember reading something about the two broads who devised those tests and they were both a couple of crackpots and why the fuck anyone's still relying on a "personality test" that was developed by two daffy dames in an era when lobotomies and electroshocks were considered good psychotherapy is beyond me.
