MBTI Reliability
• On retest, people come out with three to four type preferences the same 75% to 90% of the time.
• If a person changes type on retest, it is usually in a dichotomy where the preference clarity was low.
• The T-F pair tends to have the lowest reliability of the four scales.

MBTI Validity
• Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument in three categories:
• (1) the validity of the four separate preference scales
• (2) the validity of the four preference pairs as dichotomies
• (3) the validity of whole types or particular combinations of preferences
