It's just measuring how common it is for people of specific MBTI types to be considered 'gifted'. INTPs according to that graph are most likely.

Most of the book was bullshit metaphysical symbols and astrological graphs but the self-theories on remembering, man as machine/4 stages, observation/analysis, and so on was actually decent advice. King Crimson's pretty alright too I guess

>>11383292
Socionics is the dumbest shit. Taking a flawed model and making it the same but more complex is not a good idea.
What is so nuanced about Big 5? It groups together unrelated traits and mixes emotional with cognitive traits. On top of it for the most part it describes behavior rather than its causes.

>>11382196
ISFP and INTJ have the same four cognitive functions just in a different order. So it's not weird. High level brainy ISFPs will often get mistyped as INFJ & INTJ. Best not to take this stuff too seriously though, it's just a framework. Nobody lacks a personality.

Not that anon but I think they were referring to the cognitive functions. Every MBTI 4-letter type maps to an underlying Jungian hierarchy of cognitive functions, e.g. ENTP maps to Ne-Ti-Fe-Si. The cognitive functions present a different model for explaining personality behaviour, not sure how "accurate" they are but they add a level of depth to the MBTI and are imo more revealing than the 4-letter code.

>>11382287
Heard about this one from another INTP, is it any good?

>Solaris or Clockwork Orange

> ENTP, I'm fairly reclusive though

>>11385661
They are typically regarded by psychologists as fairly accurate but not especially useful. The Big Five personality test is more of both.

>INTP
>22
>Anna Karenina

>>11388219
>>11388084
the test implies the tester to have an accurate perception of themselves which I doubt most people have or least the few people I know really well who've taken the test are clearly delusional about themselves and have incorporated how they desire themselves to be.

It's just written so well and maintains its quality for its duration. The dialogue is amazing. The characters are engaging as I myself am an art guy.
I'm pretty sure Gaddis (young and fire-y) wanted to call out pseuds and talk about how hardworking and talented people get screwed a lot. Not super sure, as it's been a while since I last read it

Yes, probably no other novel was as ahead of it’s time as Tristram Shandy. Not only it is incredibly funny, but it has also foreshadowed many of the avant-garde techniques which were later used by 20th century modernist writers like James Joyce.

Kind stupid children are okay if you expect them to live in a cushy high-trust society. Cold and smart is a safer choice if you don't know what the world is going to be like, not to mention more likely to produce worthwhile artists. (Though cruel is better than cold for the latter.)
