“A lot of us are INTJs; we're engineer people,” Mullens said afterward. “Science is very grueling work, and we have personalities that are more introverted. We're not people who get out there.”
And yet….
The MBTI…is based on the typological theory proposed by Carl Jung who had speculated that there are four principal psychological functions by which humans experience the world – sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time….Although popular in the business sector, the MBTI exhibits significant psychometric deficiencies, notably including poor validity (i.e. not measuring what it purports to measure) and poor reliability (giving different results for the same person on different occasions).
Well okay, he did say "engineer" and not "scientist."
Don't know about you, but I'm going to take any meager tax cut that may be coming my way and plow it right back into nonprofit science education, climate activism groups and maybe those folks who are all set to hit the Drumpf Administration with a blizzard of FOIA requests.
Make all the donations in honor of Drumpf, so he gets a nice card every time. That'll improve his mood.

OK, so it's illegal to post everyone's salary and health status, but intimate details of their personality is just fine? And no one at that office thought this might lead to, oh, perhaps some unpleasant personnel problems?
Geeze Louise.
If they forced me to do that I would, but I'd write it out in crayon, with informative stick figures. Probably why I don't get asked to do these kind of things.
The place I'd worked before that actually did have everyone post their Meyers-Briggs quadrants on their cubes. It was before I was there, but apparently someone thought that was a good idea and everyone just went along. Eventually, apparently, it fizzled out and people slowly took them down. But yeah, in the wrong hands it seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
When I worked for a California governmental agency, our salary, workplace and email address were all readily available and routinely published at the Sacramento Bee. Nothing like the public seeing an outlier state employee getting paid exorbitantly for getting them all up in arms against the rest of us.
Hey, it won't be all bad. For a few.

Well, I think I've got the I, N, and T fairly well covered. J, however…
Save us, scientists!

Game on.
This is insane. Please make it all stop.
how about if we just made it insane in a good way?

I'll bet it probably happened already and it's something that's Not Done Anymore.
I'm a fan of pie charts, myself.

lol. *thwack*
I dated a girl who wouldn't go out with me until I took the test. ENTJ.
What, no twanging on the edge of a table?

CA gov't agencies still do that. It has its upsides, but yeah, still awkward for the employees.
Slogging seems like a viable option.
They can't take away our slogging.
I honestly doubt he can cause much trouble. Market forces are moving things away from fossil fuels. Enjoy your last gasp, suckers.
They can still rape West Virginia and export the coal to China though.
what, no Wyoming love? 😉
With Wyoming, it's consensual.
Also, I wonder how much coal is exported via Elaine Chao's ships?
