You say M.B.T.I but I use B.A.Z.I

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or otherwise known as MBTI, is an instrument that provides individuals with a powerful understanding of their own and others’ personality preferences. By providing insight into personality differences, you can help people in your organization reduce conflict, improve communication, and ultimately work more effectively together. After more than 50 years, the MBTI instrument continues to be the most trusted and widely used assessment in the world for understanding individual differences and uncovering new ways to work and interact with others. Besides this, I have also been assessed by other personality profiling tool like D.I.S.C model which categorises people into 4 main group namely, the Dominant type, the Influence, the Steady and the Compliance.

Now there is another amazing tool which I often used is known as BAZI or one's Eight Characters based on their time of birth. This method was developed more than 2000 years ago. One probably needs to take about 30 minutes to do up the profiling tests. Frankly, BAZI gives me the convenience of taking no more than 5 minutes to assess one's characteristic including knowing his ambition in life, his passion, desire and even tells me if all these are in congruence. It also categorises people into at least 10 very basic types of characteristic. Seriously, I believe it can go up to hundreds or more!

The best thing about using BAZI is, but not limited to, it will indicate how this person views the people around him using the 10-God analysis in conjunction with the palatial influence. For instance, you will know why he is not happy with his father although he loves him so much. You can also tell what the father's opinion on his son.

Another example will be to look at the stars residing at the various palace to understand their intra and inter palace relationship. Then we will know if we should employ a person by knowing if he is a cunning, loyal, lazy or selfish staff. We also know what is his working attitude. Is he a skiver? Is he a good sales person or is he better off as a backend person.

Last but not least, BAZI has a value-added strength - it can determine the luck of the person. So, for banks, you may not want to hire a fund manager who is about to go into his downluck. Whatever decision he makes is going to cause losses.

So, you can continue to use MBTI but I prefer my BAZI. :)
