>>13681594the only problem im seeing here is that some people make big claims with it. while it's true some websites give you a short test and claim to know everything about you i don't believe it should delegitamize MBTI as a whole.
>poor reliability (giving different results for the same person on different occasions)most people change as they get older.
>measuring categories that are not independent (some dichotomous traits have been noted to correlate with each other)the wikipedia article delves into this a bit deeper.
apparently most people score middlingly between introversion and extroversion. this is a problem because people are meant to score more extremely. i guess.
any personality test that fits you into exactly one box is probably a shit test if we're being honest.
>not being comprehensive (due to missing neuroticism)ok and
here's something later down in the article that i thought was funny:
>The accuracy of the MBTI depends on honest self-reporting.any test will be wrong if you aren't honest on it. they mention that "the MBTI does not use validity scales to assess exaggerated or socially desirable responses." but the tests that do are not free from the inaccuracies that result from lying. their biases against (i assume western-centric) socially desirable responses makes it less accurate if anything.
thank you for reading my blog post.
