Topic - The use of psychometric testing in the workplace

Have you ever been asked to do a Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator Test (MBPTI) in the workplace (or in any other setting)? Do you consider it to be a psychometrically valid instrument, and if not, why not? (Or if so, why?)

Do you think it is appropriate to use psychometric testing in the workplace at all, and if so, under what conditions, or if not, why not?

Any blog posts, research articles, webcomics or whatever else you can find are welcome! I look forward to the discussion.
