63. The Holland is very different from the MB.

Holland is used in career counseling. I have used it extensively.
The Holland has its drawbacks too. Yes a lot of people get the map making and bus driver results.
One of the weird quirks of the Holland that we get a kick out of.

Yes as I said, the MB is not a top tier test and it would not be something you could use
for a psych evaluation going to court, or legal proceedings.

That said the MB is something fun and its statistical underpinnings are not terrible.
Clients like it, is a good discussion tool and something that promotes discussion about personality styles.
