Perhaps because of my scientific training combined with the professional training in MBTI, which is true to Myers and Briggs, I hated the book. Kiersey is poor...
That's interesting because that is what I think of the MBTI as opposed to Temperament Theory and function usage. <br><br>This is what has happened with the ...
A quote from Adam Smith:<br><br>"Every faculty in one man is the measure by which he judges of the like faculty in another. I judge of your sight by my sight,...
Good set of questions. The answers to them is actually quite beautiful and are what fascinates me about type in general.<br><br>First i agree both givens are ...
It is very interesting, because my experience has been very different. My training workshop was a different experience (using the new UK Step 1). Most people ...
>>However, I do not set them exercises to test N's ability (which MBTI doesn't claim to measure), but get them to observe the behaviours the use and...
Hi,<br><br>I read most of the responses to my initial post and whilst I accept the complexity of expanding the MB code I still feel the four digits are leading...
Four out of a hundred is not as many as it sounds so dont be so surprised that you cannot identify or find anybody else like you. besides as mentioned earlier,...
Hi Robert,<br><br>4 out of a hundred is exactly what it sounds (I am an ex-accountant).<br><br>If there was an even distribution there ought to be 4% ...
>>IF there was an even distribution by type I should be able to find 4 people in every hundred with whom I could broadly identify. In fact after 53 years...
MBTI = Myers Briggs TYPE Indicator. This is not a test. It doesn't measure any dimension quantitatively, but seeks to categorise those with similar ways of ...
the real trick to understanding MBTI and one of the reasons i find it so fun to study is to figure out how far these similarities between people go within a...
Hi Inchtalla, <br><br>You say MBTI;<br><br>"seeks to categorise those with similar ways of dealing with life situations".<br><br>Where are my fellow ...
Oh they are out there Indy - I've met one or two in my time. But some will hold back if someone else is already doing teh job. Some will choose to behave in a...
I'm an INTP who many people have descibed as an enigma. I am sure INTP's even see me that way.<br><br>I have known and/or have had many friends who were ...
I know how you feel... although i just met someone who has a mind really really similar to mine... she still thinks somewhat differently then i do. <br><br>I...
Wow....I can relate to that....I've done that before.....suprise people..maybe it is my my ability to make sense out of nowhere. I can make complicated and...
Well, since i seem to be on a roll, let me add a couple of more things.<br><br>i know what you mean by making complicated arguments out of "no where". I do the...
Is it always that it seems that those who tend toward N, or more specifically NF, tend to get shafted on standardized scores of sorts? I just got my Psats ...
you are actually talking about temperament (Keirsey)rather than function. Function pairs overlap with temperament in N but not S. S functions are ST and SF -...
yeah. also if somebody were to come in to your class and give you a standardized multiple choice test on something nobody in your class had ever studied, Ns...
Rob-<br>I so agree with you. I am familiar with the Dec, and I actually compete on the knowledge bowl team at our school. I've done the same and typed the team...
yeah it is nice isn't it Jen? Ac Dec was the first class that i felt amoung true peers. One of my fondest memories of it was an Eight hour long dicussion in a...
Ok, now for the "More" part. (or as much as I can get in in-between classes! Thank God the teacher likes me, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms...) I ...
