An accuracy in MBTI?

Heron

Anyone who knows MBTI and knows me would probably say I'm INTJ. By the descriptions of MBTI, I am an INTJ. I think my type (in CT) is definitely SiTe, and I see how it manifests in me. On what you said about tests, I don't think any of the written tests/ tests that you have to answer are accurate. There will always be bias, and the questions usually are not very good.

I just noticed that the topic of the thread seemed to be true for many people, and that it was a correlation, not 100% accurate.

MBTI is basically, at this point, just a personality test. I think that it actually helps a lot of people that feel like they're so different from everyone else, or people who just don't really know who they are. It can help anyone grow and define their personality, and if need be categorize their behaviour to a group of other people. It has its value, but there are no implications of it, and I wouldn't consider it to be a valid theory due to its incosistency and lack of proof.

About the "E-centric" part of MBTI, it's the first extroverted function. Socionics takes the approach where the first function determines "P" or "J". The first extroverted function will be a large component of what a person projects as their personality. Assuming all the questions were perfect and well-defined (in terms of CT), "INTJ"s would test as "INTP" in MBTI because they are perceivers, and people that don't really know their personality well would judge by their behaviour rather than their thoughts and beliefs, so a non-introspective "INTJ" would probably test "INTJ". This, of course, is NOT true though. The flaw here is that the nature of P-leads and J-leads are defined wrong, thereby making the questions and the test flawed.

Yes, I think most of the descriptions of the P functions are incorrect. I think this would have to do with how MBTI uses four letter codes which makes it seem like there aren't other functions at work, or they have a very small role. If the other functions had such a small role, then obviously the lack of explained processes would be compensated for with extra things added to functions. So all the behaviours and things that a certain type does with their four functions would be written out in their two dominant functions. (Not actually all of it, but more)

I agree with the above. MBTI is behavioral. I just wanted to emphasize something, probably off topic. Enneagram is not behavioral too. At least not the real enneagram. However, I think it's not as accurately measurable as I believe CT is (via VR). There's a huge overlap between different types (specially adding a tritype theory) that show similar behaviors. It's more personal. That's how I see it.
