The present paper focuses on approximately two dozen recent published studies that examined reliability and validity of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in clinical, counseling, and research settings. Several assessments of split-half and test-retest reliability of the standard Form F and shorter Form G of the Inventory have yielded generally satisfactory correlations for all four scales. A larger number of studies of construct validity of the MBTI have yielded support for research hypotheses in situations ranging from correlations of the MBTI with a personality inventory, to couples problems in a counseling setting, to line judgment in groups, and others. Therefore, the applications of the MBTI have been broad, although somewhat unsystematic, and with generally favorable validity assessment. Continued attempts to validate the instrument in a variety of settings are needed.
本文聚焦于大约二十多项近期发表的研究，这些研究考察了迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标（MBTI）在临床、咨询和研究环境中的信度和效度。对该量表标准F版和较短的G版进行的多项分半信度和重测信度评估，在所有四个量表上都得出了总体令人满意的相关性。大量关于MBTI结构效度的研究，在从MBTI与人格量表的相关性，到咨询环境中的夫妻问题，再到群体中的线条判断等各种情况下，都为研究假设提供了支持。因此，MBTI的应用广泛，尽管有些不系统，且效度评估总体良好。仍需要继续尝试在各种环境中验证该工具。
