Do you feel you register with one personality type or another?

Very intriguing, how would that affect your 'functions'?

@UndeadPrivateer: Bro I am RIGHT THERE with you!

Just last week our company also had us do this test and with me they're like... WTF?

@Winterwanderer: What functions do you refer to? 🤔

@iMystery: Yeah, one thing that many fail to get with the Myers Briggs' Test is that the categories are really just to help put things in perspective. It's a bunch of sliding scales when you get down to it.

@UndeadPrivateer: True that.. first thing that goes through my mind is "🙄 Good luck placing me in a box"

The idea though is that the further you understand the categorization (& the further you are categorized) the box becomes more form fitting, that eventually there is a box (or numerous boxes) that everyone fits within.

Though I'm skeptic too, as you are.

@Winterwanderer: Complete abstract construction which likely is only true in a small handful of cases and definitely not applicable at large. People like to see what they want to see, they will see the box as more form fitting if they want it to be.

In truth humans are far more complex than that and there are thousands or, more likely, millions of factors that go into each individual human's personality and mindset. This is just a quick and easy way to break things down into some broad categories. It's more accurate than astrology but definitely not as accurate as actually getting to know the person as an individual.

Yeah, I mean, I definitely don't give too much weight to it & its conclusions, but it [i]is[/i] one of the best methods of understanding certain aspects of humanity.

But humans are complex & chaotic, affected by many different things at many different points in life, I don't believe that we all necessarily have set or fixed personalities, but that they're constantly changed (by us, or when we allow other things to affect them). And more, like you said, the system is full of many many factors, known & unknown, humans are like nature in that they're entropic, but unlike it in their order.

@Winterwanderer: The human mind is a highly mutable thing, people try to make it out to be far more static than it really is. Though I wouldn't go so far as to say we are in any way separate from nature, we are a part of it and no different from all the rest. A tiny little collection of cogs made of greasy dust in a grand cosmic scaled machine.

Well I'd say we're both distinct yet inseparable from nature, we are very different from the rest of nature in many ways, yet we have that complexity still.

Mutable, I freaking love that as a description of the mind, very precise, I will use that word later.
