A question for writers familiar with Jungian typology/MBTI:

>>9069787
>tfw rarest personality type at INFJ

Makes me think

>>9069794
OP here: after doing some research into the cognitive functions, I found out that I'm apparently "INTJ". Apparently that's like the second rarest.

Maybe an interesting experiment, definitely a bullshit metric though.

>>9069801
>INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities.

In short, I'm an unbearable faggot. Thanks, lad.

>>9069808
Na, INFJ's aren't that bad. I'm ENTP and I'd say INFJ's are easily the most interesting type. At least you're not INFP.

>>9069848

I'm INFP. Pretty much everything.

But it isn't without its merits.

My life is hell but at least my brand of autism always keeps humanity and the world interesting to me. Even at my lowest and most depressed I'm always interested. The flame never dies.

>>9069787
I'm a INTP and i'm a fucking autist, it sucks

ENTP here. I got the same idea as you while time ago when i discovered MBTI. However, instead of basing my characters on the typology i tried to classify them in order to make a believable character. But at the end i think it restricts your creative drive more than what it impulses. Sure it's funny and interesting the usage of different personalities in fiction and it will help you, but i think it's more orientated to genre fiction. Experiment and decide for yourself.

I know people shit on these but I reckon they're good at basic, surface level evaluations/characterisations - the personality functions are interesting to think of as a basic groundwork for building more nuanced personas upon.

People who give MBTI too much credence tend to turn identification with their "personality type" into a self-fulfilling prophecy, I think. At least, that's what I'm always wary of when I try to use some external system as a crutch for self-exploration. I sort of loathe the idea of becoming someone who pseudo-analyses everyone around me and fits them into categories. Like obviously all personality types are not objective ingrained labels, but they come from consciously sorting common distinctions in basic human behaviour into different groupings. I think it's limiting to take up someone else's made-up typology and use it as a philosophy to define yourself and other people by. But it's a very fun and satisfying exercise, it really appeals to our egos and desire to understand other people.

If you do so you're a complete brainlet. It's pseudoscience, doesn't even breech the surface of the minute intricacies of an individual. Though it would still be better than the bland characters every ""creates"" though, which are just one bland characteristic per character.

Just got INFP. Why do people keep saying they are the worst?

>>9070997
INTP is the worst. It's like you're alone behind a glass pane in a zoo watching all of humanity, trying to make sense of it and being embarassed every time you try to join in. It's being disqualified as a human being (read No Longer Human, the main character Yozo is INTP as fuck).

>>9069802

MBTI types, the dimensions themselves are not stable. Personality is contextual and metrics are problematic in that they can't properly account for the lifespace of the individual.

But as a tool or source of inspiration, sure why not.

>>9073807

Should have said "reliable" rather than stable. Stable is vague.

Personality type stuff is for those who like to read cosmopolitan. It's fun, but it was perhaps the most shameful product of Jung's work next to his nazi shit.

I'd go with Jungian typology rather than MBTI. MBTI is basically horoscopes, the tests are useless and just confuse people on Jung's work. Jungian typology and the Cognitive functions is actually a pretty robust and reliable structure, and actually gives you reasons why you're those 4 letters and why you can't change them. Plus, it's hella interesting, all the stuff about Ni, Ti, Fe and all the other functions is so fascinating.

Developing a test based on 4 dichotomies can give insight into this stuff MBTI's main weakness is the lack of attention to the interplay between the dichotomies.

MBTI is slightly bullshit but P people are definitely the master race.

Also not the common misconception: your p/J function is whichever you do EXTROVERTED, not which is your dominant. So INFJ people are dominant P, but judge externally.

>>9075959
As an ENTP, I've adopted what I refer to as post-pretentiousness. What I do is say very pretentious things such as "I'm very charming//I'm very wealthy" with a highly pronounced tone of irony. Now the ironic bit is: I am very charming, and I am very wealthy, but because people disregard the content of such statements due to tone, you can get away with them while being entirely honest about expressing self-image.

It works quite well for me, but you see, this might simply be because I'm very charming, and very intelligent. But since you're an ENTP, I'm sure you're very charming and intelligent too, anon. (Jk, this metric doesn't predict those types of qualities accurately at all.)

>>9069787
ENTP here. Once you learn the functions MBTI becomes redundant and dumb.

>>9076348
Thanks anon
ill go jack off to my own superiority now :D

>>9076370
No because not all groups of people are imaginary. There is a very specific group of people that consist of Swiss, scientologists, ethnomycologists, furries, and so on. Any group specified by something like the MBTI or astrology is quite literally imaginary because the validity of distinctions (and even the distinctions themselves, outside the given criteria) arose directly from people's imaginations.

For instance, now as I criticize you, very cordially I can assure you, I'm not criticizing an imaginary people (assuming solipsism isn't true), but a very specific person.

>>9076419
>Switzerland isn't an imaginary distinction
good one anon

Whenever I take this test, the only part that stays the same is "intuitive" rather than "observant." Only 51% introverted, 52% feeling and 66% judging. I'm actually surprised I scored 66% judging because usually it's around 50%. My 84% intuitive side believes this test is bullshit.

>>9076419
>implying there is anything specific about me

pffffftttttt what a joke

>>9076480
well, it is.

>>9070997
I'm an INFP, supposedly, and I don't really see why I should hate it. I do perfectly well for myself. I have friends, girlfriends, I'm doing pretty well on my degree course and I can stand up for myself all the while enjoying a rich and emotionally complex inner world.

Don't let these people cuck you from your own lives. Just try to control your delusions or at the very least don't communicate them.

>>9076461
It is in the sense that people gathered and defined its boundaries using, I suppose you could say, their imaginations. But you see, Switzerland is over 700 years old, it has a culture, a language, an globally recognized certificate for its citizens called a passport. Having a Swiss passport means something practically speaking. Saying you're an Aquarius or even an ENTP has very little, if any, practical meaning other than meaning people arbitrarily ascribe to it using, you know, their imaginations.

Am I the only ISTP here?

Sounds nice until you do some digging and realize that the Jungian functions are a hotly debated topic within the community on top of them having zero scientific basis. Between Jung, the creators of MBTI, and other researches involved there is almost no agreement as to what the functions precisely entail or how the functions stack for specific types. When some scholars agree with the Introverted-Extroverted-Introverted-Extroverted pattern and some do not (the original stackings has no such rule Introverted-Extroverted-Extroverted-Introverted) the metric loses credibility quickly.

So yes, MBTI is nothing more than a cool archetypal tool in every form.
