While revising my CV some while ago, I decided that it might be a good idea, along with "publications" and "recent career record" and "professional memberships", to include a section labelled "irrational belief systems". This would be the place to record that I am an INFJ (or sometimes INTJ or INFP, depends when I take the test), born under Aries, born in the year of the Iron Rat (which I like to think of as Stainless Steel Rat), my dominant management styles are Plant and Completer/Finisher, and my shamanic power animal is the slow loris. And my political alignment seems to be alarmingly close to Gandhi for a former member of the reserve armed forces.
Obviously such a scheme would be hugely useful to the recruitment industry and prospective employers, as instead of giving pathetic excuses for denying people employment like "you don't have quite the right kind of degree" or "we're really looking for someone with 16 years' experience of programming in Befunge", or saying something of questionable legality like "you're too old and we don't like bald men with beards", they can refuse to employ you because they were looking for someone less introverted, or more Sagittarian, or with a slightly faster-moving shamanic power animal.
What we really need is a more elaborate system of pigeonholes to put people in
