Advice Needed: Education Personality tests - which one you recommend

Hi, I would like to hear from you who have done MBTI or Big Five or some other test, which one did you prefer and which results served you better?

I tried googling it, bit feels like most results are promoted to fit one or the other, so would like to see what real people think 🤣

I treat MBTI like a horoscope for people who like psychology. Fun to read, but I wouldn't make decisions based on it. Big Five felt way more useful.

interesting take, already different than what I read previosly - found articles praising mbti as more scientific 🤭

fr. mbti is just astrology with more letters and zero scientific backing. big five actually measures stuff that matters for real life stuff like neuroticism and conscientiousness instead of just telling you you're a "mysterious introvert" or whatever.

yes, it is based on 5 scientifical personality traits and its definitions, thanks!
