“#How Myers-Briggs and AI are being misused<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Say you\u2019re a job-seeker who\u2019s got a pretty good idea of what employers want to hear. Like many companies these days, your potential new workplace will give you a personality test as part of the hiring process. You plan to give answers that show you\u2019re enthusiastic, a hard worker and a real people person.<\/p>\n

Then they put you on camera while you take the test verbally, and you frown slightly during one of your answers, and their facial-analysis program decides you\u2019re \u201cdifficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sorry, next please!<\/p>\n

This is just one of many problems with the increasing use of artificial intelligence in hiring, contends the new documentary \u201cPersona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests,<\/a>\u201d premiering Thursday on HBO Max. <\/p>\n

The film, from director Tim Travers Hawkins, begins with the origins of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test. The mid-20th century brainchild of a mother-daughter team, it sorts people based on four factors: introversion\/extraversion, sensing\/intuition, thinking\/feeling and judging\/perceiving. The quiz, which has an astrology-like cult following for its 16 four-lettered \u201ctypes,\u201d has evolved into a hiring tool used throughout corporate America, along with successors such as the \u201cBig Five,\u201d which measures five major personality traits<\/a>: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.<\/p>\n
