Watson replied to a question about Myers-Briggs personality types, which I found interesting.
"I don't understand why some people are so worried about Myers-Briggs. It would only help some people to know the type of people they are dealing with, but it would not help most people to know how to identify them."
I have never seen or heard of anyone being able to "identify" anyone on the basis of Myers-Briggs alone. I believe it's the wrong tool for the job. If you can't identify someone on the basis of their personality, then you can't get to their psychology behind it. If you can, then you have at least some understanding of what they are deep down inside.
Most people are more complex than that. All people are more complex than that. I'm sure there are real differences between people on the basis of their personalities, but the commonalities are far greater than their differences. That's the real stuff.
Stack Exchange is a network of question-and-answer websites on topics in diverse fields, each site covering a specific topic, where questions, answers, and users are subject to a reputation award process. The reputation system allows the sites to be self-moderating. As of August 2019, the three most actively-viewed sites in the network are Stack Overflow, Super User, and Ask Ubuntu. All sites in the network are modeled after the initial site Stack Overflow, a Q&A site for computer programming questions created by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. Further Q&A sites in the network are established, defined and eventually – if found relevant – brought to creation by registered users through a special site named Area 51.
