To ask if you’ve done the Myers-Briggs test?

[Wherediditgo]

And what did you think of the outcome?
I completed one a while ago - I am an INFP and found it was scarily accurate.

Just interested to hear others’ thoughts and tell me, how does your mind work?

There was a fascinating thread on here recently about people who don’t really have an inner-monologue and the discussion about the differences in how we think was really enlightening. Would love to know how people with different personality types interpret the world around them.

I get the same result every time but if you think about it as 4 scales you can be either end of each scale or you can be more or less in the middle. If you are a middle person on one or more scales then on different days you could get different results.

It's only meant to indicate a preference for thinking style. It doesn't mean that you can't do anything other than your one category. But when the chips are down and you're under pressure you'll likely retreat into your comfort zone.

I am obsessed with Jung I admit but the original theory was far more complex with introverted and extroverted functions working in parallel so double the 16 categories that Myers Briggs came up with.

He was also pretty racist. Lots of people were at the time.

Do you mean Jung? Because Myers-Briggs was invented by two women, Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother.

Oh yes I might have misread that post. Apologies if he = Jung.

Some parts spot on other bits not so much. I'm almost 50/50 introvert/ extrovert

It's made lots of consultants rich hawking this snake oil to companies.
As many have already said, regurgitating a variation the answers you give or spouting something vague and open to interpretation will make it seem scarily accurate.

Yes, and a lot of Psych lecturers bored and not a little angry having to explain to ever more gullible students that they need to think more criticially and to wonder why MB is much beloved by money making machines.

Sometimes simplicity and familiarity sell well!

Yes I have found this test helpful . Probably the only thing that really understands me !
I have done it numerous times and always come out the same INFP T
Husband is INTP and we clash when I am too emotional and he is too logical lacking in compassion . I have also been accurate in predicting friends types.
