Most psychological research tells you if a treatment (or any other cause) works on average. But averages hide a lot. Some people benefit, some see no effect and some may actually be harmed. Our new primer in Psychological Methods tackles this head-on. 🧵

The Big 5 test is about twice as accurate as the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator for predicting life outcomes, placing the usefulness of the MBTI test halfway between science and astrology. Any psychologist will tell you, the Meyers-Briggs is mostly bullshit.
