Hey /sci/,
I'm fascinated by Science and Math but not the practical use of it.
What career should I pursue?
(High salary necessary)

I think the only difference between INTJ's and INTP's is that INTJ's aren't as existential as INTP's

[Anonymous No.2766301]

>>2766253
I guess that's kind of true, but that's a pretty big difference. INTJ has a much bigger need for things to make sense and be quantifiable, and so would often rather be wrong than uncertain. INTP might never decide what's actually right, but in the process of figuring it out will end up learning a lot more.

I'm a fairly stereotypical INTP, in case that isn't clear.

I always either get INTP or INFP on these things and I can never tell which I tend to gravitate more towards. But I assume the details between the two aren't that massive.

You obviously have not taken the test.
It is incredibly accurate and developed by multiple psychologists.

[Anonymous No.2766433]

I'm surprised at how accurate these personality types can be. I got INTP on a test and looking it up on wikipedia I fit all of the descriptions.

I haven't only taken them, several of my courses has been on personal psychology.

It's build upon Jung and his psychoanalytic theories, meaning there's no empirical evidence for them; people studying modern personal psychology has abandoner them since a long time ago. There's just so many flaws there's hard to know where to start. Fucking vague for one.

But imagine we're making fairytale psychology, and for some reason those things would be accurate, a good example what's wrong, imagine someone who's just slightly INTP, and one who's slightly EFSJ. They're pretty close to each other in real life. But according to the test so does the INTP have more in common with all INTP's, than the EFSJ's.

If there's one that's even remotely good, it's the big five theory, google it.

[OP No.2766469]

INTP's or "Arcitects" are said to be only 1% of the popuatlion.

But I'm positive a lot more than 1% on 4chan are INTP

all the descriptions are worded in a way that will make people think they're talking about them.

also confirmation bias.

Question: What's the big deal with ENTJ? Why is Stephen Colbert the one used to represent it in the meme picture?

Also, is it unusual to find an ENTJ that got his degree in a science? (I know the meyers-briggs is basically bullshit, but I'd like to hear at least some answers)

[Anonymous No.2766489]

>>2766470
but i read several others and they clearly didn't describe me

[Anonymous No.2766490]

phd in maths. Get into research in physics maybe.
Just study a pure science and do a doctorate, that way you'll be able to teach theoretical stuff and do research.
You can get a good salary if you're good enough, write books, do conferences and shit.

[Anonymous No.2766494]

INFP here and you are all autistic

[OP No.2766505]

>>2766471
I agree that some tests are biased but I truly believe these are just as accurate as 16 types can be.
If you answer the questions honestly you can get a general idea of where you are.

Not all of the descriptions outline "good" personality traits. Even the weaknesses people don't like to admit are usually true with the people I have urged to take the test.
I also admit there is no scientific proof but the descriptions are so different I don't see how they could be vague "cold readings"

[Anonymous No.2766518]

>>2766489
It might be because after taking your test and gaining the assignment results a person automatically attaches to the personality description remaining ignorant of the mismatches (thats basically how horoscopes work)

I propose an experiment to do a Myers-Briggs test to a person and give him the wrong results, I cant do this because i have no friends

[Anonymouse No.2766526]

>>2766490
Are implying that biology or genetics or engineering or anything besides physics are not pure science?

[OP No.2766530]

I understand your idea but if you read the descriptions they are all clearly different. Very different and specific.
>>2766518
Take some time to scan through of a few of them and you'll see what I mean.

Actually Jung disagreed with Freud and distanced himself from him in his later years due to Freuds emphasis on sex. Not that that has anything to do with the personality test..
