- Isn't the MBTI a 94-question test? I remeber doing it a couple of years ago
- (a pencil/paper version) in an undergrad psychology class.
-
- And, as with most psych. assessments, I believe that the "original" test is
- property of the publishing company that does the hard copies of it. If there
- is a computer version, is it done by the company that owns the rights to the
- test or is it an "illegal" version of it?
