Abstract
This study aims to examine the test-retest reliability of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Instinctive Drives SystemTM in order to determine their effectiveness in the workplace. It was hypothesised that the Instinctive Drives System"' would demonstrate significantly higher test-retest reliability. The study consisted of 50 participants, who completed both personality measures twice. Unlike previous studies which only compare test-retest reliability by examining the averages of the entire sample, this study directly compared changes in individual scores. The Instinctive Drives SystemTM was found to be significantly more likely to return reliable results than the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The results of this study provide valuable information for business managers interested in improving performance through personality profiling in the workplace.
