For this week's discussion, we have been asked to review and discuss the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This is an extension of the Jungian personality theory, which identifies personality traits that help identify performance measures that make it easier to promote and use employees in a way that will ensure their success (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). However, there are particular areas in business where this can be used, as it is not a bulletproof evaluation tool, and, per the text, it could be a better tool for performance evaluation and pre-employment. (Coe, 1992). So, how does this apply to the question of the week, and how can we use it in daily business to increase the success of the employee and the business overall?

Tattoos and piercings have gained popularity among young Americans over the last two decades.

Even so, body art is still not universally accepted. Employment services firms report that job candidates among the millennials do not particularly try to hide their body art. About 25% of this generation also show off piercings in places other than their earlobes. CEO John Challenger suggests that a generational shift accounts for the changing mores: "Those making hiring decisions are younger and not as adherent to traditions about workplace appearance". Career expert Andrea Kay agrees, but she warns that acceptance among hiring managers varies by industry. Recruiters in IT and Retail may be more forgiving than those in banking and law.
