> predictive qualities do not extend beyond the binning process
I agree that these tests should not be used for the purpose of evaluating/predicting the "fit" of any individual in an organization from an HR or leadership perspective. They are helpful, imho, for understanding some characteristics of one's own personality and how it relates to others.
Personality is a real thing. It's also very complex so having some "bins" to structure how you (as an individual) think about it can be super useful. But yeah, in the hands of HR and other amateur psychologists it's not a useful tool.
