"Overall, the review committee concluded that the MBTI has not demonstrated adequate validity although its popularity and use has been steadily increasing.

I have refused to take the MB "test" during the interview process because the test has no demonstrated scientific validity and no demonstrated predictive value, which makes it discriminatory and possible an ADA violation.
