Those familiar with the Myers-Briggs personality test and its resultant "indicators" probably know that, along with a handful of other personality tests, the Myers-Briggs test is used by corporate HR departments the world over to determine who to hire, fire or promote. The test, created in the first half of the 20th century by a couple of in-laws who were big fans of Carl Jung, attempts to distill personality elements into clearly definable criteria that, expressed as a code, could sum up who a person is in a tidy word. What corporate HR department could resist?

The problem with the Myers-Briggs and its attendant cousin tests isn't so much their methodology or outcomes but the way they attempt to describe people. By using an alphabet soup of codes for qualities like imagination, temperament, and socialization, most personality tests spit out codes that read like models of German sedans. PTSE. C300. A6. Which of those are actual codes for personality types and which are models of German luxury cars? Even if you can see the difference, you can see the problem.

We have the solution. Nearly a century after the creation of the Myers-Briggs, we have sharpened it up with animals that embody the personality types, intuitively explaining to everyone what the types are, rather than making people look things up in a codebook. Are you ready to find out what kind of animal you are?
