MBTI fits my discussion of the Bartle Test because it matches up in both popularity and (un)reliability.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-66167817911689222092014-08-22T09:57:37.339-05:002014-08-22T09:57:37.339-05:00The Big Five has been the standard among serious t...The Big Five has been the standard among serious testers for probably two decades now.
