Thread 23055209

Does bant know about personality types? What if someone claims they are an INTJ but doesn't seem to be? What are they most likely?

It's all a buncha bullshit in a pathetic, desperate attempt to find uniqueness in one's self.

interesting question
>>23055264
maybe
it's good for icebreaker type shit, and kinda fun to talk to people about
which is maybe the point

>>23055209 (OP)
You are both most likely women or children

Yeah i guess we can throw this into the realm of horoscopes at best. Just don't expect me to participate.

I don't get into it because I feel people are more complicated than these systems...indicate? But I do wonder about it to some extent.

if this is a specific person you're thinking of, tell us how they "don't seem to be" INTJ

>>23055324
it's not about reducing an entire person to some random classification/box based on a reductionist system
it's about whether you can observe certain markers about a person which have UTILITY and CONSISTENCY

the sort of questions you pose in your OP are what determine whether the system is useful or bullshit

if there is a specific answeer to this question which is consistently observed, then we could say the myers-briggs test could be useful, or atleast that it measures SOMETHING which could be used to make predictions about a person

what i'm saying is, OF COURSE people are more complicated, but a very simple test/classification could still be used to make predictions

>>23055326
I don't even know what an INTJ is exactly except they say it's the "most rare" and this person doesn't seem to have a rare personality to me

>>23055209 (OP)
Every time I take the test I'm consistently an ESFJ but one time I finished and was rated an INTJ. I'm a person who's often alone and comfortable but I still get lonely easily and need to spend time around others if that makes any sense.

>>23055564
I am a loner most of the time but yeah if I am truly alone for too long I will babble to people

It's hard to say, people mistype all the time, it's very common. Many Infjs can be like chameleons and seem like different types as an example.
