Is this bullshit? It looks like bullshit/psychology.
I'm starting to see women listing their type on dating sites. I had to look it up to find out what it was.
This looks like pretentious, astrology-tier bullshit that women love. Why does it even matter to know and let everyone else know if you are or think you are adventurous, cautious, sincere, etc.?
What type would Hitler be? Stalin? Mao? Pol pot? Ghengis Khan? Marquis de Sade?
of course it's bullshit. It's free and on the internet.
How fucking new are you?
Nice contribution there Germany
Yes, it's utter bullshit based on plausible categorization. The certainty and pandering to emotional needs of the various "type" descriptions read exactly like a horoscope. The tests themselves barely make any sense at all if you have intelligence greater than your average doorknob. "Pick the closest answer" is just absurd when it's analogous to choosing between getting burned to death vs. getting mauled by dogs as the most pleasant way to die.
Thank you
Sadly, it's too broad to be truly accurate and scientific. Even the most detailed personality inventories ask you about a hypothetical situation ("You arrive at a party") and then present you with two -- or at MOST five -- choices ("Do you prefer to be in the center of attention or alone at the edge?")
There's no option for neither, no option for "I talk to only my close friends", no option for "turn 360 degrees and walk away."
The only way to get a true sense of someone's personality would be to somehow observe them and their thoughts for a prolonged period of tiem
The ironic part of this test and the people who take them is only certain personality types are inherently honest enough with themselves to get an accurate result.
Its not bullshit. These are personality traits.
Some people are more outgoing than others, therefore their answers show differently on the tests than a person who would rather be by themselves most of the time.
It may be a broad spectrum, but its not entirely senseless.
It's not complete bullshit. For example INTP and INTJ will behave like autists. EFs will be normie sluts.
The results are based off of a personality test. It's not going to be perfect, but they represent how that person behaves.
Hitler was ENTJ, same as me
Nobody who has an F instead of a T would stand being on Sup Forums
Autists fudge the tests, this is why they tend to get INTP or INTJ, because to them these personality types sound like cold and calculating bad asses who don't let their emotions get in the way of their efficient thought processes.
This is how they view themselves, not necessarily how they actually are.
Hitler is usually categorized as INFJ, but it's highly debatable.
>Is this bullshit?
Yes. It's almost on the level of zodiac signs as in it gives people another "special treat" they can show off on social media. It's basically a "which Hogwarts house are you" test for people who want to feel smarter than the teenage girls who usually take those tests.
It's not very accurate and it makes people believe that every type of personality is a special snowlake that is equally useful, which obviously is not the case.
But wasn't Hitler terrible at logical, long term planning? Or, do you only need to have a desire to long range plan even if you're absolute horsecock at it?
This.
Also, it seems to be based on false dichotomies. One can be thinking and feeling at the same time. And clearly one can be judging AND perceiving.
he's not wrong, quit it with the sass
Personality traits are not the same thing as character traits.
Nothing about these tests say anything about you that is persistent or innate either.
A bunch of retards just conflated the test into something it's not.
Square me up sempai
Just shit me up as a brick.
Hitler was almost certainly an F, rather than a T, for that reason.
>Rudolf Hess: "How often has Hitler said to me: 'I know that my decision or action is correct. I cannot explain at the moment why, but I feel that it is right and the future will prove it so.'"
obviously bullshit as they gave me ESFP
>can't into dominate traits
It's about what traits you show predominately over the traits that sometimes pop up.
For instance I am usually introverted, but when I have to go outside and interact with people I still have an easy time doing it. I'm a hermit, but only because my city sucks balls for the people that live here.
I've never done it, and here's why:
I never want to limit or define myself, ever. I am an ambitious individual. Introversion in my book is just weakness of character - we can all be extroverted if we want to be, it just takes effort.
I'm like a damn marble sculpture nigga and the purpose of my life is to carve and polish that sculpture as best I can. I never want to stop improving. I mean I'm not one of these people who flogs themselves every day to work out - it's counter-productive, you need rest and recovery for good health. But the point is I always want to be improving myself, changing in whatever ways I have to, in order to acquire more power, more strength, more money, more authority.
Defining yourself is for weak tumblrite faggots.
There's some bits of truth to it. Senior management gets warm fuzzies bc it masks as a scientific approach to something as subjective as personality type for 'optimizing' workplace productivity. It checks off the box 'hey, we're doing this great thing to make our folks work better together.' There is a cottage industry of consultants built around this mostly psychobabble that gets paid nice coin to perpetuate this questionable technique.
>You have brown hair and blue eyes.
>STOP DEFINING ME YOU SHITLORD!
The only tumblrite faggot here is you.
>personality test
>not 100% bullshit
pick one
>It looks like bullshit/psychology.
It's bullshit according to psychologists.
The "it's a zodiac" people who sperg out on this are almost as bad as the tumblr idiots who use it uncritically.
It's a fairly basic personality test that sorts you into 16 categories. It has a few flaws such as the fact there are not two bell curves as it would imply for each dichotomy. Most people are in between introvert and extrovert.
If you use it to make job decisions, gauge job interviewees capabilities, or to find love, you're an idiot. Most psychologists as I understand dislike it not because of how it is (mis)used in the workplace
It's good only as a vague introductory judge of someone's personality and how similar they are to others. It's not objectively rubbish, it's not good either.
t. INFP (all my close friends are also INFPs, huh).
It is bullshit. Most people seem to get N, because the questions seem to imply that being N means you are smarter, even though the authors claim the distribution is 3:1 for S.
>psychology
> bullshit
pick both
lol, totally not bullshit. It doesn't give you a fixed characteristic like your blood-type, but it fairly accurately describes your personality type as well as strengths and weaknesses associated with that type.
Stop being so autistic
Infp-t represent!
I think it's a very accurate test, and can be quite revealing, as long as you answer the questions honestly.
Jung was a very smart jew.
INFJ here. I like /pol just fine. Hitler was an INFJ, btw
I'm talking about defining your personality you fucking moron
Introversion =/= antisocial
Ayy what's good, my nigga.
>Is this bullshit?
Yes. I went from INTJ to ISTP over 5 years.
It's closer than anything by Freud though.
