'Not my style. Too narrow-minded.
Ironically, topics about intelligence are rarely intelligently discussed.
Probability vs strength. The scores indicate how likely you are a given preference, not how much of a given preference you have.
What would be any different about a manic-depressive in a depressive state? FWIW, here's an excerpt on manic-depression: - The Tavistock Lectures
According to Jung, depression is always an introverted condition. This does not mean that introverts are always depressed or that extraverts are never depressed. It simply means that you are in an...
Should authors be forced into another other jobs or go on welfare to support their writing career? Who will pay to publish and advertise said writings? Isn't the writings already free to access via...
Ok, so you are talking about the metaphysical you. But what about the physical you? Your parents made that, no?
Baby or adult, I'm still the genetic lottery winner of their dna. Baby is only one stage of your existence. Or do you believe that when you turned into a toddler your parents no longer made you?
Didn't your parents make you?
Or they all borrowed from the original... :P FWIW, the scores do not indicate how introverted or not you are, but how likely you are an introverted type. If you asked yourself why the...
According to ethical guidelines: Ethical Use of Administering: The Myers & Briggs Foundation - Ethical Use of the MBTI® Instrument
I had the same thought! lol
he claims he's an ENFP on twitter
Maybe you're just socially awkward?
Reminds me of a certain presidential candidate...
Evasive.
Evidence?
I'd argue that this is less MBTI® and more the random third-party fan-based sites that are not based on any kind of research.
FYI - According to MBTI®, 55% is a probability, not a measure of strength or development.
Too many misconceptions and misrepresented facts to deal with. :S On a slightly different note, @reckful has a great post on MBTI debunking. In any case, here's a partial response to the...

And yet neither MBTI® nor Jung asserts such a function stack... So it sounds like MBTI is bullshit! :P
Out of curiosity, if an extravert prefers to spend a lot of time alone, what makes that person extraverted?
http://i.imgur.com/fEObthI.gif Way to get that dragon!
Hmmm... let me take some alone time to reflect upon my memories and experiences, see how I feel about it, then come up with a detailed plan of how to approach the subject.
Or Myers if you want the straight up actual MBTI type theory.
Maybe this will help. I've copied some of the bullet points from the manual. Each facet has many points, I just copied the first for each one. I've also omitted the midzone points. Ideal criteria...
@Octavarium So if we back up for a moment, do the facet category descriptions make sense? These should be the first distinctions. The subsequent descriptions should be taken in context of their...
The above are the in-depth descriptions. Can you elaborate on what you are unclear on? Can you provide some specific examples?
Overdeveloped Ti pisses me off. They tend to overthink things.
To contribute to the OP, I think this reflects my communication preferences well: ...
What a bizarre response. If someone tries to understand something, they are trying to gain the upper hand? :confused: EDIT: Are you owning your opinion here?
The first problem is that you are not comparing MBTI® to anything. If you took a free online test, then you haven't done the assessment. The official process involves both an online (or paper form)...
I like yellow too! My favourite jacket as a teen was yellow. Nowadays I have a big yellow hoodie that I like to wear.
Here is an example from MBTI workshops. The group is given a scenario like: you are picking up a friend to go to an event. Your friend is wearing something completely inappropriate for the event....
MBTI doesn't, which is probably the biggest factor it doesn't account for in attraction.
For all those who make claims that some types are better/lesser than others, you don't understand MBTI at all. :P Myers called her book Gifts Differing for a reason.
What an interesting theory.
Eh? Person takes the assessment. Person is taught the theory. Person self assesses. Person is given report of the original assessment. Person compares to self-assessment. Person verifies...
You don't seem to be understanding me and I can only repeat myself so many times. We will simply have to agree to disagree at this point.
So the forest is the end of a tree?
Yes! I'll use the person's name I'm talking to, but when I'm referring to others I will refer to the relationship, position, etc rather than their names. In the DiSC model, D's and C's are more...
I do it all the time. It helps me to remember names because I'm likely to forget and just comes out naturally now. It is often not in a condescending tone, but rather a friendly one--'thanks Jim!' or...
FWIW, here is what the official documentation says (Introduction to Type by Isabel Briggs Myers): Sensing People who prefer Sensing like to take in information that is real and...
And what would be the common link in Sensing types? Intuitive types?
Care to offer your own take on the difference between sensors and intuitors?
I thought that was an SJ trait? :D
Unfortunately I can not remember the source of this information. It was either in Gifts Differing or some other source providing the history. I suppose you can take it with a grain of salt then. ...
The ignorance is strong in this one. I like how you break out the right-wing typist nonsense only when an ISTJ calls you a troll, but not a fellow INFP. Talk about injustice. :P NOTE: In case all...
Where's the swimming pool?'
