The New York Times' Misleading Article on Assessments and Their Use Cases

I’m not usually late but I’m really late on this topic!
Back in September The New York Times, which is often accused of publishing fake news, published an interesting article comparing personality tests to astrology.  The story included specific assessments like The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, The Hartman Personality Profile (Color Code), Plum, and DiSC.  Myers-Briggs reports on sixteen dimensions of personality, the Hartman Profile has four dimensions of personality, Plum uses AI to predict cultural awareness, teamwork and communications, and DiSC has four dimensions of behavioral styles.
I had so many reactions to this article and I have attempted to collect and assemble them into a coherent article that I believe will be worth your while.
