Is The Myers Briggs Personality Test Valid? | @ColeHastings

[meowcat]

It's unfair to use unofficial myers briggs as examples. 😅 MBTI really wasn't intended to be used to label people. I just took the official version yesterday and honestly there are so much you can discover about yourself and others. It's a good tool. How it's used depends on the person using it.

[shashu]

It mainly depends on how introspective the person is while taking the test to ensure you get the correct result one has to know themself really well thus will be able to be more consistent and unfortunately most of us don't and are still discovering the basics

If the results change from day to day, it's not reliable.

And here I thought I knew everything. I had heard my psychology professor say that MB is something we don't do, simple as that. But I had no idea it's creators had no training. Mind blown. Thanks!
Ps. One of the main perks of Ocean according to my professor is that it measured neuroticism, cuz and I quote "If you're gonna hire someone you'd want to know if they're so neurotic a mild setback will make them quit: then all their other scores don't matter".

It does make sense but i overlap a few but cognitive functions are infp. Life experiences and moods make it overlap

[jellyfishfactory]

These categories do overlap, no idea wtf he’s saying. He clearly has ever heard of cognitive functions before lol

I’ve test my mbti several time but it result always stays the same INFJ-A..

[leighuh]

I’ve tested as every MBTI other than ESTJ.

You're not talking about Myers-Briggs, you're talking about the 16 Personalities website 😅

I always felt weird about that test, like it didn't seem that It would be able to determine all of that from the questions asked but what do I know.

[Alden-Smith]

Not for me I took the test over 50 times at different months, years, times etc and I always got Intp

Those two women also had advanced degrees.

Socionics is much better than MBTI utilising only 3 letters for each type.
