However, it all depends on many other personality parameters and the people's knowledge. You need to apply different people-categorization models for the right purposes. MBTI is about decision-making, so it is a very good model if you want to hire people that make many decisions, like programmers. Programmers are basically serial decision makers, who can make hundreds of important decisions per hour that will affect others, and the programming style is definitely unique to each MBTI profile. I noticed that a very large share of doctors seem to have a preference for the MBTI F functionality, which is good at avoiding errors, but not good at math, computers and logic. They are often not able to explain their decision-making, and there is no problem with that. Those that prefer T functionality struggle with the fact that T thinking isn't a good match for many of the tasks that doctors do. USA has a significantly different distribution of brain wirings than Denmark. You have more NFs than NTs, where Denmark has a very high share of NTs. In our public administration, ET-profiles have a very high share of management positions, and this doesn't match well with being a doctor... so we have a recruitment problem there. Or, as I would say it, a public administration management problem. I don't know how this works in USA, but I wouldn't wonder if the brain wiring profile of public administration managers would be different in USA, simply because your population has a different profile.
