>>9421920
INTJ only manages to pass as intelligent because they are good at advertising. INTP is too alien for others to understand, and therefore classify accurately.

I don't know enough about the classifications to make a judgement there but self-evaluation in 30 question online surveys has to be the most obviously defunct method of psychoanalysis in existence.

MBTI is essentially just stating that there is this system to classify the personalities of people. Introverted/Extroverted is just as much a fictitious thing.

>>9422046
Hence, a tard.

>inb4 ur tard to

Yeah, I already know

>>9422055
You are zigzaging his point. One thing is disagreeing with MBTI and another is totally negating the possibility of classifiying personalities. You know, Myer and Briggs is not the only classifying method.

>>9422071
If you label me, you negate me.
I think classifying personality is dumb and the results are useless. People are too complex.

>>9422071
There is no reason to say that it is not a functional classifying method.

>>9422092
There is no need to classify animals. Biology is just too complex.
There is no need to deduce laws of physics. Physics is just too complex.
There is no need to discuss literature. Art is just too complex.

>>9422092
>People are too complex.
Yes and No. People are complex due tue different experience. Although MBTI states about that people have different ways of interpret information based on speculated cognitive functions. Then it classifies. What of this is dumb? Keep an eye in that i am talking about the classification, not the internet tests.

>>9422100
You can discuss its validity.

>>9422125
None of those are even similar to classifying personality

>>9422136
Why not? Where do you think personality comes from?
Your ... "soul" or something?

>>9422129
But what is the end goal? I've had test forced upon me for learning styles and how to work in a group and management styles, etc.

I know my own learning style without being told (the classification got this wrong).
Other than that it seems like autistic classification meant to treat people like machines. This is what the underground man was railing against. And I agree with him.

>>9422148
>But what is the end goal?
What is the end goal of anything?

>>9422146
Well animals are different species, so there is something tangible to classify.
Physical laws are reduced to mathematics which work or don't.
I noticed you said "discuss literature" instead of "classify literature"

>>9422148
Ok Dovsto, world doesn´t revolve around you.

>>9422146
Soul is the thing that sees anything.

>>9422158
Art and literature are studied in universities. They can be critically dissected and and the expression techniques used in them can be classified. In any case any more or less in depth examination of art will descend into biology sooner or later.

literally EVERY post itt is off topic

>>9422184
Shush, we are lit.

>>9422100
Except that it's notoriously poor at staying consistent when the test is administered multiple times. Iirc the only parameter of the MBTI that appears to have a factual basis is introversion and extroversion. Not to mention the actual test itself is based on a simplification of Jung, who is not really a paragon of rigor. It'd be about as valid as calling the Enneagram valid when that's based on like, numerology or some shit.

Just because I think MBTI is fucking astrology for dorks doesn't mean I don't think there are other ways to classify temperament. Big 5 and its larger counterpart seem to be fairly good as well as accurate predictors of the presence of mental illness. That said it has some issues regarding cultural consistency.

What have you read on this?

>>9421920
I always score intp in these tests.

I'd say I do have a wicked sense of humor. Certainly not intelligent, in fact I just got kicked out of two college courses because I didn't deliver my assignements in time (I started them the very morning of the day they had to be finished). I'm pretty sure I barely have a brain at all.

I wonder if I need some pills to get shit done.

Visit the wiki. Also, I don't see why people would complain about the length of a book. If the book is good and you're enjoying it then that's a good thing, if the book is bad you can just drop it.

Surprisingly there's a fairly good chart Wiki has reproduced as well on the Personality Disorder Article>Issues>Versus Normal Personality
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder

The citation in question found correlations between abnormalities in certain test scores and diagnoses of illness.

Which is cool and somewhat more scientific than the DSM-V, which is literally just a checklist. That said it's still open to the usual folly of statistical analysis and the fact that you can argue that Big Five traits might be arbitrary.

>>9424399
This. You all have been fooled.

>>9424399
I don't like using the Big 5 because it flagrantly points out all of my flaws. At least with MBTI, they say "You're a thinker!" instead of the mopey, "You are not open. You are not conscientious. You are introverted. You are not agreeable. You are neurotic." That is the worst result possible and I get it every time.

Alright, I'll settle this once and for all.

INTJ's reign superior over INTP's and the rest of the MBTI personalities, from a /lit/ perspective.

Honestly, if people here are anything other than an INTJ, they may leave, or choose to become an INTJ through deep mental conditioning.

INTJ's are lexical geniuses, cut from the same cloth as the late Mr. Wallace.

They're naturally philosophical, and live in general misery because of the cognitive dissonance in their heads about the futility and life, yet a deep yearning to aspire to something higher.

INTJ's are not socially inept weirdos like INTP's. They're selective, and almost snobby about their company.

Great taste in music, literature, and the ability to have a fantastic conversation with anyone about anything are just some other traits of INTJ's.

Why're they superior? Go figure.

>tfw ISTP
>tfw INTPs and TJs are complete faggots

>>9424970
Well, that probably has mostly to do with the fact that MBTI is mostly used for horoscopy but from a purely objective perspective it is inherently more neutral because it tries to examine personality from a purely cognitive perspective.
In Big 5 the agreeableness scale and the neurotic scale are emotional. In Big 5 not being agreeable seems to genuinely mean "You cannot feeel" from what I read while in MBTI being, for example, a thinker means you put more focus on logical rather than emotional reasoning.
In fact the neurotic and agreeable scales always kind of confused me. I see how they are clearly different but they are also kind of related because being more neurotic can make you less agreeable though the fundamental reasons for it would be different than "You cannot feeel".From the tests I've seen I can't say I think this is very well accounted for.

Please send help

I've taken the MBTI three different times in the last 25 years at various jobs. Twice I scored as INTP and once INTJ. Both times HR and management acted like they swallowed a pickled turd when we went over the results and they did everything possible to avoid me beyond minimal necessary interaction after that.

>>9426107

what is wholesomely disappointing about this comment on the internet is that it is actually believable that a human resources clerk would be enough of a lemming to actually buy into MBTI pop-culture at it's face value. To avoid someone socially or on a professional level and to automatically determine what kind of a human being they are solely off the premise of scored results on a personality quiz is the fucking single-most retarded thing I can think of, and is ironically autistic.

I had similar surveys at my place of work, and when it came to the comments section I would simply copy and paste the lyrics to puff the magic dragon in the paragraph box, because it doesn't mean two half of a beluga whale's obtuse cock if I am happy at a job or not because no one wakes up in the fucking morning and says, "Boy, I can't wait to go to work."

>>9426144

I was unemployed one time and desperate for a job. I went and applied for a shit position at a company for barely over minimum wage but I was really hard up. This company made me take a battery of aptitude tests before I could fill out an application. HR lady comes in with a big smile and tells me I scored consistently with someone that would have a 4.0 grade point average in college. Admitted that I scored higher than she did. Said the only person in their company in the same league was the guy who owned the company. Told me they weren't going to hire me because they felt I'd get bored there and leave and they couldn't offer me another position because I didn't actually have a college degree. First time I ever got turned down for a job because I was too smart and uneducated on paper.
