I first dismissed the description of INTP as horoscopic bs that anyone would like to hear

when my roommate proudly read out what ENFJ (i think) said about his character, hardly any of it sounded like me, I started thinking the test might have value.

that being said I hate the I got "XXXX" therefore I must be a genius, leader, special etc attitude that the results encourage for some people

what does lit think? is the test valuable/accurate?

>> No.6431566

>>6431540
They're not incredibly accurate. It never will be. But they've provided incredibly useful framework for understanding myself. I will tell you that I am a literal poster child for the INTP, but that's not the entirety of who I am

>> No.6431571

>>6431302
Realize that Myers-Briggs is fat horseshit and internalize the fact that personality is fluid.

I typed as INFP too and while it may describe me to some degree people tend to fall into a self-defeating trap wherein they think it's impossible to overcome your emotionality through willpower.

Exactly the same. This year has been particularly hard for me so far. It's insanely difficult to just switch off and be in the moment socially most of the time. It's always an endless flood of thoughts and digressions that I'm trying to swim against.

MBTI is obviously not a be-all and end-all definition of personality, but it's also pretty clearly talking about things that actually exist, and people have been using it as a tool to think about personality for a long time, so throwing it out the window because it doesn't have a satisfactory theoretical basis is dumb as hell

Does anyone else feel like Myers-Brigg is hogwash? The questions are so absurd. "Do you like flowers more than structural integrity calculations", "wud u rather take MDMA and partay or read a book, alone, in the dark". These things vary so much through life and situations.

It feels as if these results are simply more labels for people to tag themselves with to find other micro-societies and post on social media about what kind of person they supposedly are. Best of all is that you can cheat, "do you enjoy chopping up ligaments and tendons? no that's horrible!" While your family is in the rape-basement.

Formerly I was getting INTP, now I got few times INTJ few months back I took this test.


But how can you properly judge personality types when you are led to them by choices you have no confidence in picking. How the hell I am supposed to know if what I feel is correctly represented on my choice. I might as well have autism and do jack shit at the party and think to myself I am "the popular guy" at it.

>When someone is in trouble, you usually start by offering emotional support rather than practical solutions.

And what I pick here? I might as well give her practical solutions as an emotional support.

INFPs don´t think. Also, not even Jung understood Fi.

The test indicates that I did think over and selected the preferences.

>>6433218
But how do I decide whether I am doing this from emotion or for practical solutions? I relate the both.


The only way this test is possible is by associating your past actions and emotions to your current self. I might as well be feeling whole different person while acting in social interaction, my memory at my reclusive position might be faulty and perception skewing.

INTJ with over 90% on my Introversion too, as well as Thinking. I suppose that could somewhat explain why I'm such a recluse now.

You're better off taking a functions test. They supposedly shouldn't change over time.
