Whats wrong with just saying "I dunno. I'm lost. I'm trying to be happy while I'm here."


And I know if I named any one of these belief systems someone would roast me about how its a legit thing.


Just meh.

Which intellectuals and what beliefs?

I think a fair number of "smart" people become experts in a particular field, and then ride that ego trip into thinking they are experts in everything else.

Because they've realised that is all there is to choose from.

Because they are smart enough to think for themselves.

I've noticed this weird trend, too. My fiancee is INTJ (Ni.Te.Fi.Se) and I'm INFJ (Ni.Fe.Ti.Se). It is natural for me to disregard prevailing theories until I can prove them for myself (this caused major problems with climate change as SO much of the material is aimed at non-science-minded folks. It took years for me to realize what was up). My fiancee's Te (extroverted thinking) drives her to respect and trust people with degrees as well as seek out those degrees for herself. Her and many INTJ's who I have this bizarre interest in astrology, psychics and metaphysics. It doesn't really vibe with their super rational personas.

The only answer that I can give is that Te always coincides with Fi (introverted feeling - Who am I? What is my place? What is my purpose?). I suspect it may be related to this Fi more than the intellectual Te.

Says every Te/Fi-user. It's way too accurate to be BS. Fi's feeling of uniqueness leads to not wanting to be put in a box/defined. They always say the same. By contrast, even T types that use Ti like ENTP and INTP don't call it total BS.

Except it doesn't.  Then depending on who you ask, it's supposed to change.

I think it has some slight applicability in determining basic traits, but anyone that says "Oh, I'm an XYZS, so I always..."  is an idiot.

Quote:

The primary method for testing reliability is to give the test to a person on two occasions. This procedure is known as  “test-retest  reliability."  Typically,  the  test-retest  interval can range from several weeks to more than a year. Because type is said to be a constant characteristic, we would expect that people's personality would not change overtime. Several studies, however, show that even when the test-retest interval is short (e.g., 5 weeks), as many as 50 percent of the people will be classified into a different type.




No it doesn't.

I mean, I've seen it play out first hand :shrug:. Where in the broadest sense, its predictive.  Basic frameworks such as whether individuals work better with group interaction ("extroverts") vs. solitary work ("introverts").
