While reading the Personality Plus article, I found it very unnecessary that the faculty of the McKinsey consulting firm knew their coworkers' M.B.T.I. types by heart. In the workplace I wouldn't focus so much on someone's personality type based off of a test. Instead, I'd focus on how that person reacts in certain situations. I mean, it isn't hard to gauge how someone will react after you've interacted with them enough. We do it in college with our social groups all the time.
I agree with you, personality tests aren't 100% accurate, and the results can be leaded by the person taking the test, so simply interacting with your coworkers is a better way to get to kno0w them. Simply focusing on test scores isn't the best way to truly know who you are working with.
