What Michael Pierce thinks of CT

True, he's not convinced about CT's ideas, but he's very supportive and impressed with CT's work:

34:40 "It's not something that I am doing, but all power to them. I think they are being very smart about it. I'm most familiar with Juan Sandoval (…) he's a sharp guy (…). I haven't studied or learned his system well enough to be able to give any kind of fair critique of the methods or of his work at this point (…) I think he's hit on something (...)"

1:29:00 (About IDRlabs vs Cognitive Types) "So which do I think offers the most accurate typing of people? I am kind of evading the question, but that is partly because I'm not sure (…) I prefer IDRlabs because they type a lot of dead people, who you can't look at their facial expressions, and I'm more interested in philosophy and the philosophical aspects, so I tend to favor them simply because that's what they tend to focus on. But once again, it is difficult (…) I don't want to choose one over the other (…)
1:30:26 I'll be honest, I am rather skeptical of CT's list of celebrities but that may be simply because I have not learned the techniques they are using. And it really does come down to a question of methods. I am focused on just what is the guy saying, how is he saying it. For instance, they type Sam Harris as ISTP with a subtype of Ni, and that does still fit him into the quadra - IDRlabs type him as INFJ. So in a sense they are very similar on Sam Harris (…).
I guess I'd have to say I don't know. Obviously I'd favor IDRlabls, partly through familiarity, partly because I care more about their typing of philosophers. I am trying to be honest here, but I have nothing but respect for Juan Sandoval and what he is doing.
1:32:11 Do you the theories regarding visual signals on typing people are plausible? I do! I think that is a plausible notion, I think it needs more time and study (…)"


Michael Pierce also promoted the book around 2 years ago:
