I have taken the Meyers-Briggs and the DISC multiple times. I seem to get
different results each time I take one, based on my particular mood. Over time,
though, I have noticed certain tendencies in my responses, and the results are
generally accurate. All of this to say that a complex human being should not and
can not be defined by a narrow and objective test. My biggest problem is the
people who take these tests and let the results define them, rather than the
other way around. If used appropriately, they can provide insight into yourself
and others.

Check out "Please Understand Me II" by David Keirsey.

Just my thoughts.
