Bob: the first step for some of us to take a look at that, or any other test, is to review serious published literature. Can you send some specific references? More important than reliability is validity-what is it supposed to measure? Thank you! Angela and “puglyfeet”: glad to hear from you, and to see you enjoyed those great resources.

Myers-Briggs actually only has a 50% re-take reliability which might give some credence to Dr. Medina's comments. I've worked at companies that give it to most employees but it never seems to get put into action. I give my clients a much more valid test - The Kolbe Index A which measures instinct and conation. It's retake reliability is over 80%. Very empowering and not based on personality. It would be interesting to get Dr. Medina's feedback on the Kolbe A.

It is critical that a bridge exists between neuroscience and education. I think books like these are a great start! I just read and reviewed Medina’s book, and I agree it is a great resource.
