I can't remember how the conversation begain, but my T and I did talk about MBI once. (sorry if I'm completely offbase, but you're talking about Myers Briggs right?) I think it was because I mentioned we'd done the test as part of a work thing. We talked about it briefly and then moved onto something else. I think it was just one more piece of information for us to work with. Maybe it helped my T understand how I see the world and myself.

I like using Myers Briggs in work contexts because it helps me understand how other people like to function and tackle a project. I think there are probably mixed thoughts on its relavance to therapy. I did google it once and read that there are some studies trying to coorelate depression with different Myers Brigs types. If I remember correctly, the study seemed to indicate that rather than a certain personality type being more likely to become depressed, the reverse was true. By that I mean, if someone is depressed they are more likely to act in Introverted ways.

sorry for the ramble!
