Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

This restricts the use of IQ Tests in college applications, school placements, government job applications, and benefit hearings.

[Joseph Cao]

Please do not take this seriously in any way (the bill is not the place for it) but part of me really wants this extended to the Myers-Briggs and whatever other annoying amateur psych horoscopes are floating around the corporate world.

I agree with that, and i might address that in a new proposed act for the next session (Big Five should also be included in that). I know in some places MBTI is used in the professional context. Big Five is more commonly used.
