At least replace the kybalion with the corpus hermeticum

into the trash it goes

The choices seem arbitrary and tenuous, if not outright satirical

>ENTJ is just books that retards read about ENTJs rather than books ENTJs would actually read

>>17157731
I'm just going by what the INTJs suggested.

The Myers Briggs personality archetypes are nonsense so I don't hold out much hope for the chart.

First of all there's a confusion about whether a book is "ABCD" because it's written by an author with an "ABCD" personality or because its targeted at a demographic who could be described as "ABCD"

>>17157798
So what's your theory on personality? Everyone is identical?
And its targeted towards the latter, though any books written by ABCD would obviously appeal to ABCDs.

>>17157779
is /r9k/ the retard containment board? I've never been there.

>>17157822
>tripfag
Not surprising that you're retarded. Have you never heard of any other personality theories besides Myers Briggs? read Jung, Adler, or Carl Rogers.

>>17157822
>though any books written by ABCD would obviously appeal to ABCDs

No it wouldn't. Self help books are a fantastic example of this. People who write self help books are not the type of people that read them.

>Everyone is identical?
Yes. Thats exactly what I said. Myers Briggs categories are bullshit therefore everyone is the same. That's precisely what I said.

>>17157938
Is where the fbi keep tabs on potential incel terrorists

>>17157719
What would the the second INTP book?

But I've read and enjoyed books from several categories.
This makes no sense

>>17157719
I just took the online test for the first time yesterday. I'm 28. I got intj-a. I want to say it's pseudoscience bs on par with astrology but it does seem right. Is it fake or not? Did anyone read into it?

>>17158025
If you'd ever picked up a book by Jung you'd know he came up with the precursor to this idea. I like theories with categorization and predictive power, something neither Adler or Rogers can provide.

>>17158300
No idea. We can't build the chart without suggestions from INTPs.

>>17158275
>People who write self help books are not the type of people that read them.
Well that's just wrong.

>>17158884
INTJ here, two of my favorite books so far have been The Prince and Notes From Underground, hope that helps

wait does anyone really believe in mbti bulshit ? wasn't it made by 2 menopausal women with no background in anything?

>>17157938
It's the containment board for unironic incels, trannies and attention whores.
Thank God it exists.

I usually get INTP and I've never read any book written after 1950

>>17158961
It does, thank you for helping to construct something.

>>17157719
>Mbti fags are /r9k/ crossboarders and have atrocious taste
No surprises

>>17157719
ENFP here, the first book in our section is a good fit, I'd say either the Dao De Jing, Spinoza's Ethics, or Process and Reality would also fit.

Recent result was ENFJ. The Prince, Carl Jung, Thus Spoke Zarathustra were great, looking forward to reading For My Legionaries. I hated reading The Picture of Dorian Gray.

INFJ here, why should I read either of those?

>>17157719
INTP here, my favorite authors for fiction are Cervantes, Joyce, Flaubert, Kafka, Burroughs, Pessoa, Nabokov, Platonov, Thomas Mann, Conrad, Lovecraft, Stanislaw Lem, Mishima, John Milton, Hemingway, Faulkner, Dante, Umberto Eco, Melville, Huysmans, Borges, Juan Rulfo, Gracq, Buzzati and Boris & Arkady Strugatsky

For non-fiction, Plato, Spinoza, Jung, Schmitt, Arendt, Michelstaedter, Wittgenstein, Dhammapada, The Upanishads, Dugin, Byung-Chul Han, Fukuyama, Schopenhauer, Dennett, Girard, Eric Gans, Burnham, Cioran and Baudrillard

>>17157719
nice idea for a gimmick chart, just get rid of all the entry-level political shit and give anons solid recommendations based on their horoscope.

>>17158846
I took it. INTP and it was freakishly spot on.

>>17158300
The Odyssey: mans epic beginnings.

The Age of EM: Mans emulated end.

Same

Has anyone read Prometheus Rising cover to cover here? I read the first chapter and it was actually pretty good; my only problem is the exercises. 1. they're fucking stupid, and 2. I live in a pretty rural area where I can't exactly walk around looking for quarters or whatever without driving 20 minutes out of my way.

Is the rest of the book good/understandable without having done the exercises? Does he just go on a schizo rant about how the maker (or whatever it's called) part of our brain forms everything the thinker portion dreams up?

>>17157822
myers briggs is just some shit someone made to get rich of job interviews, nothing more.

>>17158300
Cioran - The Trouble with Being Born

>>17157719
>INTJ
>Zarathustra
Fuck me, Nietzsche is shit and he shouldn't represent us. At least an Italian band made it into a kickass song...

What happens if I read all the books across the personality types? Do I get superpowers or win a prize or something?

>>17157938
It used to be the board for tfw no gf posting and general woman hating with the fellas but it’s a shadow of its former self now. High profile suicides and school shootings originating from the place attracted a slew of normies. The vice documentary on incel attracted a lot of retards too. The uptake in population and the poor quality of stock plummeted the board to shit tier

>niggas have so little personality they need to borrow one off the internet
