Psychfag here

I'm really disappointed that personality psych exists. The only useful applications are the perspectives of psychology that yield good results in therapy like behavioral psych, cognitive psych and humanistic psych. Personality psych is useless because its all subjective and doesn't result in help for anybody with a fucked up personality. Merely classifications that stigmatize and trap people into thinking extroversion is a sign of social perfection. Really irritating and on behalf of all psychology, I apologize for personality psych.
>>
You cannot really take it as facts or science, but you may your qualities and flaws accurate enough and at least use it as hint to what you should improve.

AS HINT, don't take it literally.

Another great thing of those is making you aware of how people perceive the world differently from you at least generally, since everyone has very unique views based on their experience or whatever - you end up being more accepting towards others as you could guess how their mind could be elaborating information and making decisions in comparison to you.

As for the test, generally personality tests are too mood-based so unless you aren't already a bit aware or you are in an unstable mood - your results may vary when taking the test again, this is a general flaw of all personality tests because experiences and feelings towards them shape you

Despite ((psychologists)) refuting mbti.

Imo it works. But I think the focus should be on functions.

ENTJ and INTJ have same functions but with different order

I thought I was an INTJ for a long time because of my semi asocial personality is, but the truth is I have very strong Ni with Te dominant. and decently developed Fi.

Also people think intjs are asocial because of introversion. That is somewhat true but the point is that INTJs will be more of a sniper, and entj more of a shotgun type.

I agree with this, but 16p completely misses the function part and isn't actual MBTI - just with the same letters and similiar descriptions.

their big ass description as pretty accurate ngl. i am indeed a pansy faggot ass pussy who does everything to please others and avoid conflicts, and i do love writing and poetry despite being in a postgrad program for STEM and having done STEM all my life. i low key do english homework for university students both (public) ivies and community colleges and i write writing more than i like my shitty research and especially science. i actually despise science because everyone wants to """"advance"""" humanity and expand knowledge and break boundaries bitch sit down i'd much rather live in the present, become a night guard, read my shitty literature, write, and awkwardly flirt with the pseudointellectual loving artsy girls and wallow in my depression. besides, academia is a piece of shit, most research papers are absolute shit, conference/journal admissions are demonstrated to be rigged favoring prominent groups, double-blind peer review is not really a thing of our reality, etc. but i know writing is the same bullcrap trash like everything else in the world. and the rest of the shitthey talked about was pretty accurate. about my relationships. my girl always tells me i'm too secretive and hardest person to know and etc and i bet they could've been more accurate if they actually knew about my depression and all the mental disorders glooming over my life at all times.

Nah fag, you do a better mnemonic trick

You get a number at a bar just around the corne but you realize that that number which is evaluated to you isn't really the girls number but the girl thinks it's her number because everyone else give it to her just a minute before. But you didn't yet know this. You call to girl next morning because you kinda thought she was pretty and nice. You remember the conversations you had about aspects of other people in the bar and the horoscope of her, which was virgin, and the she expressed everything so cutely, like an introvert.

But the moment you call someone named Hugh Mungouse answers. You ask whether you can have anon grill on your phone. Hugh Mungouse asks, why do you want to talk to her? She is horrible person, says Hugh, she is extroverted little shitbag of person and more poisonous than a scorpion.

You regret. You realize you were quite drunk the other night. You passed the conformation of abuse drinkin while passing to the sofa and throwing up in a taxi. Little drunkk. You realize that it just might have been that others talked FOR (H)ER and made her personality at that bar where n=29 and it really was a class. You really don't know her at all and probably wouldn't even fuck her. That's that for the little bar num.

Then use it in your speech as fast as you can, might be just a side note to something. If you cannot, you repeat the concept in your head and imagine a situation where it really shapes group behavior and us humans. Then repeat.

Or you can do that poetry of your which takes it quite far from the context but is fun to play with. Barney got a barnumber. Forer fought for plumber thunder. Being sonder from mundane phantom is dandy and little random. Flynn pondered whether next Fourier comes in the next pour of geneation etc.

That's little bit how memory or memoirs work, which is a lot better field of study than personality but they both have their areas of being interesting and share of good researchers.

Weird comment anyway in the first place, people should do that more. It's a free board in the end eh.

If you get a bunch of people and make them answer a bunch of question about them, you might eventually get a significant correlation between certain sets of answers and characteristics.
And if you get a new person to try such tests and he used very clearly some specific set of answers that have high correlation with the said characteristics, you cold probably expect for him to have a bigger chance of having those characteristics than a random person.

Except if you really think that it's impossible to have certain correlation of sets of personal answers and personality traits.

>If you get a bunch of people and make them answer a bunch of question about them, you might eventually get a significant correlation between certain sets of answers and characteristics.

Sure, but MBTI has no relation whatsoever to known personality traits, or in fact to anything at all. It has been extensively tested by none other than the US Army, and found to have no value at all. >>8849158

I think most of you are missing the point of the test. It doesn't matter if the personality type doesn't perfectly reflect who you are, it's meant to group like minded individuals together, that's it. You use this knowledge to direct yourself towards a proper social position in the workforce and certain employers actually require you to know your personality type for this very reason.

It doesn't tell you your future, what sort of bullshit have you people been reading? Why the fuck do you think all of them imply what kind of job you'd be good at? It's like none of you ever learned what psychologists actually use this for in college.

>Do you think this is actually believable ?
Not really. It's easy to think it's bullshit/superficial when you're just looking at the four letters, but it becomes a bit more structured once you learn all the functions. But the test is still really imperfect. Answers depend on mood and obvious questions lead to answers based off who they WANT to be instead of who they are. Many questions are also super open-ended, allowing the person to think of so many scenarios to base their answers off of. The stupid nicknames and stereotypes for each type also results in people mistyping or thinking they are another type (Ex: It says I'm an ISTP, but I'm not a mechanic and don't like cars, so I can't be that type.)

But I see no reason to hate it. People take the test (any personality test) to figure out who they are and look to the tests for any guidance for what hobbies/ careers they'd like and weaknesses/ strengths they might have. If it helps them or they think it's fun, who cares? It becomes stupid when people turn it into a special snowflake contest (my type is 3% of the pop), or believe the tests with 100% certainty

>can we put people into these types
Sure. In a tentative "you might be like this person" way. But take it with a chunk of salt and realize it's pop-sci tier. can't really nail billions of people into 16 archetypes. And you'll naturally figure out "who you are" as you age and do things

Generally online communities

Don't have a girl yet but I made a few good friends on the web - althrough I am not really looking for a girl in first place, I don't plan friendships or relationships, I let them happen - this is the only thing I don't ever plan.

Same here, but I meant friends outside the internet, like people in my area

>Don't have a girl yet but I made a few good friends on the web - althrough I am not really looking for a girl in first place, I don't plan friendships or relationships, I let them happen - this is the only thing I don't ever plan.

Same here again. You sound exactly like me from a year and a half ago. I figured it would just happen and that I'd just meet some perfect girl in one of my classes or on the train or at one of the few parties I went to. But I've got bad news for you, *it doesn't happen*. Believe me, I was convinced that it would happen and I wouldn't have to put effort into making relationships, but it just doesn't. It has to be you that starts it off in some way (presuming your a guy). You have to look and then you have to actively show interest and find things to talk about, reasons to spend time together, etc. Same goes for friendships. I wish I knew that back then.

>>8852881
Well, it's not like I am unfriendly though - I just don't actively seek to become someone's friend, but I guess I should try to put more effort, thanks

I used to meet women on okcupid but i'm with my gf for two years now (we're living together). All my friends are either old schoolmates or current schoolmates (high-school, undergraduate, and now postgrad). I don't think I have any real friends I made outside an academic environment, but desu I don't want more and I responding to them on Facebook is already tiring and I leave their messages unread for days cause I can't bring myself to talk to them

Are you a brainlet? The test is pure pseudoscience, be it psychology or not

I don't think it's the questions it'd the methodology of their analysis and conclusions

Sure saying you'd rather be alone is you being less social obviously but making a personality conclusion based on that is what's up for debate
>>
MBTI is all about cognitive preferences isn't it? If you find that your MBTI keeps changing then it's possible that most of the test structures aren't reliable but your cognitive preferences are still there. Meaning, the functions and their respective orders that form the basis of MBTI have scientific merit. The problem is when people learn their personalties and decide to not improve themselves simply because they were 'born/nurtured' this way. This can be done through learning about your cognitive biases - making MBTI really educative as well. It's definitely no astrology.

I cringe just as hard when someone asks me my personality type as when they ask me my star sign.
>>
>>8853374

that puts you clearly on the more "introverted" side of the scale, the only other option in that regard is extroverted

the problem with these tests is that they aren't officially administered and people aren't objective when answering about themselves
>>
>>8853398
Sure, I probably would too. The same way people would if asked to talk about intelligence etc. The rejection of these kinda things socially seem to often be politically motivated.
>>
>You were born on X date, this means a certain thing will happen to you or you will act in a certain way
>Based on your answers you have traits of A B C and D
These aren't really the same thing lads
>>
>>8853374
It never gets that far. People just hate the idea that the story they have of themselves, nice, intelligent, successful, driven etc. is not only a lie but that they are well aware it's a lie. So it's easier to blame a bunch of questions instead of the answers you gave.
>>8853394
Yes that's the point. To help people think about themselves instead of the proscriptive idea some people have gotten into their heads.

If you don't actually show interest in being friends with people they will take notice of that, and whether or not they like you, they won't try to get closer to you because you don't seem interested in doing so. You won't make enemies or seem awkward, people just won't become closer friends with you. If you actively socialize with them and seem interested in hanging out, then you will actually build a friendship. This is all assuming you aren't an asshole and therefore off-putting, but that doesn't sound like the case

This test ia such bullshit.
I got a different score every time I took it.

INFP
Then ENTP
Then ENTJ
Now ENTP again

Apparently I have a high "turbulent" score or some shit. Sounds like bullshit pseudoscience to me.

The ENT part seems consistent for you.

Most people fall fairly clearly into one of these 16 categories but it's about as useful as a horoscope for actual personality profiling or prediction.
>>
>>8854693
That just means you have a poor sense of self-evaluation and introspection.
Every time I take one of these on almost any website I get the same result.

Another, dare I say, better Psychfag here

People like OP are destroying the psychology because they approach it with biased mindset; They are not willing to make value judgments that are not scientific in the strictest sense but psychology doesn't play by empirical rules because the brain is not exactly an easily observable phenomenon

>The only useful applications are the perspectives of psychology that yield good results in therapy like behavioral psych, cognitive psych and humanistic psych.

What is a good result ?

Personality psych is super useful and can be operationalized in a wide variety of scenarios. One can make probabilistic claims with regard to the possibility of a wide variety mental illnesses; Openness on the big 5 is strong predictor of Schizophrenia and neuroticism predicts problems like depression and anxiety issues.

Personality Psychology is the best kind of psychology; It's strait forward, it's easily observable and it works.
