Reply to We’re POLITICO econ/finance reporters and a bank regulation expert. Ask us anything about economic politics and policy after Silicon Valley Bank’s shocking collapse. by politico
From what I understand, after selling everything SVB was around 1billion in the red. I get this implies the bank had to go under and the process of liquidating all assets takes time (that's why the gov't provided the liquidity for their customers), but when all is said and done won't the fed only be losing about a billion dollars down the line (provided the bonds don't recover and everybody stays generally calm)?

I can’t describe to you the revulsion I experienced when I read your suggestion of not asking questions in an AMA.
My unsolicited advice as a trade for yours - if you want to influence someone, be less negative and more constructive.

u/truity_psych Why would test makers use this word when its conventional definition has nothing to do with the traits they are trying to describe?
Also, this seems conspiratorially anti-women. Why don't they just change the label for this trait to something more accurate?

How accurately do The Big Five, MBTI, DISC and Kolbe results reflect the test subject's suitability or fit in any organization or relationship over time?

The Big Five is a sort of meta-theory, in that it more or less encompasses all other models of personality. For instance, Myers Briggs describes four preferences that are roughly equivalent to four of the dimensions of the Big 5.
So, I would say that there aren't really a lot of personality models that can be considered unrelated to the Big Five; many of them are different angles on similar constructs, or mashups of select parts of the Big Five.
This means a couple things—first, that any system that can be related back to the Big Five can be lent credibility by that relationship (for instance, people love to say the MBTI is bunk, but it's hard to take these arguments seriously when they ignore the fact that the constructs are so similar to Big 5). It also means that none of these systems are likely as complete or accurate as the Big 5, which has been shown multiple times to be the most comprehensive way to understand personality.
To answer your question more directly, yes, most commercial assessments have been studied for reliability and validity. Most have some predictive power, for instance results on our TypeFinder assessment show correlations with real-world outcomes like income.
However, these findings can generally be related back to similar findings with the Big Five, i.e. Judgers in MBTI tend to earn more, as do people high in conscientiousness within the Big Five. So this research is less about pitting one system against each other, and more about discovering commonalities across ideas.

Is there any substantial study that gives credence to other personality classifications outside of the big five?
Have any of them been reproducible?

These are findings over many multiple studies, so I don't have a single link for you! Here are a couple blog posts we did on the topic: https://www.truity.com/blog/transitions-conditions-and-decisions-how-life-events-impact-personality

Would you be able to link to that research? I am interested.

Hi Nazia, thank you for sharing your research. It's really interesting work. Are your materials being used in patients currently and how effective have they been. Also how do you add 'cues' so cells will interact with them?
