One of the more useful categories (because it has been backed up by many quantitative studies involving differences in brain structure) is the Introversion/Extroversion scale. Although, I don't believe there is too much info on the other categories, simply because they haven't been rigorously zeroed in on yet. However, unlike astrology, you can hand the general descriptions of any type to a specific person, and they will be able to feel as though several do not describe them at all.
Not to mention the fact that Myers-Briggs types are supposed to be inborn and immutable, but due to the way the test is set up it also measures environmental influences.
And, the whole thing being based on Jungian typology, while simultaneously forcing a position in each of the four aspects is strange. Jung believed someone could be very high in both introversion and extroversion, even though it may be more rare.

If you google your type, there is loads of pages about how you're likely to be. If I recall it right, odds are that you are a very social, warm and supportive person.

INFP here by the way, but I'm not really native to this board.

>If I recall it right, odds are that you are a very social, warm and supportive person.
That sounds about right.

"They tend to enjoy a wide circle of acquaintances, and they gain energy in social situations (whereas introverts expend energy).[6]"
"They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture, and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities"
"When making decisions, they often give more weight to social implications than to logic.[8]"
"ESFJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability."

INTJ master race reporting in

I was talking to a female coworker recently, how on the fundemental level people only act based on selfish intentions. Some people help them selves to feel good and some people feel good when they help others.

I think by the end of the conversation she compared me to an asexual, said I was depressed , and excessively pessimistic. In the nicest way possible I said she was just a bit naive and ignorant to her surroundings.

Starsigns predict the future of your love life based on planetary movements, MBTI organizes similarities in the personalities of people who answer questions about themselves in similar ways. Are you sure?

>>4582388

And you could also say that people only want to feel good about themselves so others won't have to think of them, and that all people who are trying to make themselves feel good are thus doing it for solidarity. What point have you made? Decide your conclusion beforehand, and you'll get there somehow. Your description of her as naive and ignorant also seems like a psychological projection. I mean, if only the truth about all people was as simple as that ... One can dream, I guess.

[Harriet !x6oGOnISPY No.4582741]

>>4582722
I was exaggerating, but answering a few multiple choice questions does not give any sort of deep psychological insight (As well as the fact that many of these questions are just rewordings of the exact same question asked earlier)

[Anonymous No.4582749]

>>4582741
Well if we assume that everyone answers the questions truthfully and to the best of their knowledge then it isn't difficult to see that there is something to this.

For instance I am INTP, regardless of whether or not what that says about my personality is accurate or not, I am pretty damn sure that if I run into another person who would score as an INTP they will have many personality traits that are very similar to mine.

Actually, J/P alternations aren't particularly uncommon. In reality, it is only supposed to be whether you outwardly express the N/S or F/T more often, and I forget which one pairs with which.

As stated before:
>>4582101
>unlike astrology, you can hand the general descriptions of any type to a specific person, and they will be able to feel as though several do not describe them at all.

Also interesting to note is that people don't score wildly different types when they re-take tests. They might oscillate on one of the things (go back and forth between J/P for example) but you're not going to be an ISTP one time and then an INFJ at some other time.

[Anonymous No.4582775]

I guess technically I shouldn't be on this board, but I still like Science.

[Anonymous No.4582780]

ISTP.

[Anonymous No.4582782]

Any ISTJs?

[Anonymous No.4582786]

>>4582767
The environment you are in is influencing your responses.
For example, while in school, I most often score INTJ. While out of school just doing job stuff, I score INFJ. It makes sense to me; when doing homework and working in an environment where something is either incorrect or correct, feelings and intuition are going play a smaller part in my decisions than the facts. I'm in an environment that promotes T over F, so my responses are closer to T than F.

So, you're probably:
1) Not that much of an introvert or extrovert. These do lie on a scale.
2) More likely to answer one way in a certain environment than when in a different environment.

[Anonymous No.4582808]

ENFJ. I have no idea why.

[Anonymous No.4582863]

>>4582786
I disagree.

No matter what environment I am in, I always hold the facts to be much more important than my feelings.
Those responses would dominate for me under all circumstances.

[Anonymous No.4582896]

>>4582741

Yes, but have thousands of people answer them, and you're getting there.

>>4582749

Actually, it's irrelevant how people answer, as long as they answer similarily, because MBTI isn't solely founded on what people say about themselves, but on what the people who say these things about themselves are like. It's of course not as precise as say physics, but it give us the tools to relate to our differences and similiarites, and has a clear basis in reality. There is also no better alternative. The Big Five is difficult to use and clumsy, while socionics are not very democratic, to cut it short. It among other things claims to be able to predict the dynamics of a relationship between any given combination of types correctly, and its assessments are often unkind. From personal experience I also know these assessments are not necessarily very good either.

>>4582759

This is sort of incorrect. It's common because it's the most difficult of the pairs to understand. In fact, P and J is in some ways the one that matters the most, because it also effects how two other of the pairs come to expression. For example, an INTJ will have Extroverted Thinking and Introverted Intuiton whilst an INTP will have Introverted Thinking and Extroverted Intuition. Looking from the ouside, it does seem like the only difference is that an INTP will seem more creative, while an INTJ will seem more logical, but this is in fact two completely different ways of thinking. For more, one can google ones type together with "function analysis".
