Still, I'll vote, even thought personality types are bullshit The online tests operate on a false notion of how the mbti works, and therefore their results are suspect in the extreme. On the reality of it all, I have to say that prima facie, it seems extremely unlikely that the whole horizon of human character can be synthesised and categorised into sixteen archetypes. I can only say that pragmatically, my knowledge of mbti theory has given me extensive insight into people, both those whom I have known for a long time, and people whom I have just met. I have actually been testing the system for several years. Sometimes when I meet a new person, I would attempt to divine their introverted and repressed traits by extrapolating their more active and visible ones in accordance with the mbti system, and I have to conclude that the accuracy has been too good for me to dismiss it outright. There is something to the system, but I am not sure what. I think a lot of StarCraft players are INTJ, i don't think the personality type statistically significantly affects skill to be honest. The clash of types can give valuable insights into the arguments which break out in the general forum, which is temperamentally, if not demographically, dominated by INTJs. One characteristic problem with INTJs is that they tend to mistake sarcasm for wit. | ||
