Bash your own MBTI type

I personally don't find MBTI's to be that reliable just because there are too many variables in life. And because I'm a rebellious little bastard who doesn't take shit from nobody. But I think it's OK to like the concept.

@Mercury Beta Tester

Bashing MBTI? OK!
The MBTI is wildly unreliable and unscientific - there's been little peer review of the test.

The re-test reliability is also low. If you take the test 5 weeks after originally taking it, there is a 50% chance that you will fall into a different personality category compared to the first time you took the test. Your category is likely to change anyway, so why take it as truth?

Not to mention that the MBTI questions are so vague anyway that you could fit virtually any kind of behaviour into any personality type. Of course, this could lead to you totally believing a personality type that supposedly applies only to you.

The test is not and should not be taken seriously. At this point, the only people taking the test either honestly believe in it and/or want to categorise their personality to make it supposedly easier to understand and/or to validate their own feelings of superiority. (IN– types, hmmm…)

…

Oh, you meant criticising our own MTBI types? Oh…

Them sources are noice!

Hahahaha that was great, totally agree. I have a friend who's way too obsessed, even though she says that it's not even real. It's kinda sad, really.

However, cognitive functions aren't necessarily a bad thing to gauge your personality with. I think all the letters are sometimes just silly, and stuff people have made up on Tumblr are fake, but cognitive functions are not. The best way to type yourself is to read up on those. Not saying that the eight cognitive functions that are listed are the ONLY ones, and they make stupid choices for the combinations of those eight functions to create the 16 "types", but it's a cool way to see how your brain works at the decision-making level!

That said, while MBTI types are definitely not 100% accurate, there's still some truth to them. They're meant to be vague, and I think people on the internet have taken it way further than it was intended. After all, cognitive functions aren't supposed to be the "be all end all" of your personality.

I think those tests people take are bull and gauge someone's preferences and stuff rather than their cognitive functions. And they give the answers themselves. That's probably also a reason why the answers change. Besides, most people aren't paying for the real test and take some knock off one by someone who doesn't even understand the whole thing.

So in the end, all people will never just fit into 16 boxes absolutely, but there's nothing necessarily wrong with finding your MBTI type. I think it's fun, and I happen to love meeting other ENTPs because it seems like there's SOMETHING alike between us. I think people are meant to not take it so literally, and to know that they are not everything Tumblr says their type is. When you find your type, you should overcome its faults, grow in all the letters you're weak in, and become an XXXX. My goals.

@Masterkey

But anyway, I gotta bash ENTP :P

@hopelessromantic, I think I'm pretty cool too. And that's one of my problems, lol. My pride was probably my greatest flaw since day one, couple that with my lack of self control and you get a pretty annoying toddler.

So there's just one thing I gotta say to you ENTPs: SHUT UP. Not everybody has to be interested in what you're saying, not everything you say has to be witty and intelligent, you don't have to debate BOTH sides to just make people confused and angry EVERY DANG TIME. Gosh, sometimes people find it hard to talk to you, since you constantly run them over with "reasons" and "examples" and "look how cool I am." Think about others' feelings for a change. Use your skills for good. And I know WE love each other, but the world doesn't necessarily accept bullies… just sayin'.

Also, it's okay to feel like an introvert sometimes. There's really no such thing as either, so take that time to crawl in a hole and read. You're not a broken ENTP, I promise. Some Tumblr people say you're the most introverted of the extraverts, but then somehow you're also supposed to be the life of the party and hella popular. Not true. Everyone's different.

INTP:
We can never just shut up. We're either so quiet that you could hear a mouse or loud to the point that anyone within earshot of our nerdy little voices wants to strangle us. So logical that none of what we do makes sense. Our ideal Friday night is sitting around with our cats, watching ancient aliens whilst consuming dangerous levels of caffeine, and discussing conspiracy theories we found after a downward internet spiral at 2 am. Basically woke, neurotic Napoleon Dynamite. Will snort Adderall for fun and never says please or thank you. We're basically human/meme robots.

Infp: We just chill and watch everyone else. We're extremely good at writing, poetry, and acting. We daydream 24/7. We go off of gut instead of the brain. And we just have NO CHILL on the inside. We horde our friends. When we are too involved with other human beings we run away and hibernate for the winter. We look for the good in everybody and often try to see from their side of the story. (Invasion of privacy much?) We do not speak, like at all and if you happen to get us to open our mouths you'll not want to stay for five hours listening to our nonstop bullcrap. We only watch a few people because the cast would be too big otherwise. It says we're democratic but, uh, that's not true. I'm (mostly) republican. If left alone for too long we become hermit crabs. ._. We are smart but, dumb because we don't use that head in the real world. WE ALL WANT TO FRIKING AUTHORS. We are DDLC poems walking.

I've never been more scared in my life. 95% of the time when I'm not, reading, writing, listening to Dex Arson, or drawing I'm daydreaming. Because I've been bullied I doubt myself a lot and I push these fantasies away and being more realistic than pure infp's. Nonetheless, I still daydream about anything and everything. I look from both sides of the argument. ("I see why'd he think that way.") I stay in corners and I want to be left alone half of the time because I'm in another world. The other half is when I have nothing to do and I'm regretting life itself. I am guided very strongly by my morals. Whenever my mom asks who I'm drawing I look at her like. "Do you really want to spend 15 hours sitting here, me explaining this to you?"
I'm so simple on the outside, so calm and peaceful but inside its a CHOAS of Dex Arson songs, books, horrible artwork, and stupid plots.
I literally cannot say hi on my own to somebody. I try but it's SO hard. I cannot start a conversation, I cannot communicate in any way shape or form, especially with my mouth being messed up. (I need braces, my upper jaw is too small causing overcrowding.)
I have NO friends whatsoever so I'm stuck in an endless loop of the internet. Just stuck and cannot get back into reality (Back to life, back to reality! Lalalala lala da da.)

ISN'T MY LIFE JUST AMAZING!

@Masterkey

AH JEEZ WOW NICE SUMMARY

Also, I believe in you, you can get out of the loop of endless internet! I would describe myself as an outgoing, confident person, but for the longest time it even took ME a lot to force myself to go say hi to certain people. Not all strangers, but the most important ones, like new kids that I should be greeting. It was really weird. So if I thought that was hard, I'll bet it's way more tough for you. But you can do it, I got faith. You sound like a cool person!

@Masterkey

Also nostradamus, nice INTP summary XD

@Masterkey
I wrote this at like 12:30 at night and I was song drunk on Dex Arson songs. Most of what I said is true other than the fact I do have A friend. I don't see her much so it leads me to forget about her every now and then, especially when im on the internet.
Everything else is true.

@sgadanwrites

Hi INTJs. Absolute geniuses in the field but probably can't even peel a banana

Deleted user

@Masterkey Also you said it'd be fun to be around me.
Uh, i don't know about that.

@Masterkey

ENTPs don't get annoyed easily, so if you're being emo I won't be annoyed I'll probably just laugh

Unless it was really serious, then I'd be comforting XD
