Hello all, I am interested to know what Myers-Brigg personality type you are. I love taking personality tests and I stumbled across this type which I've seen has been very popular recently!
Not to rain on your parade but I wouldnt waste any of your time with the Myers-Brigg, there are much better personality tests (personality tests are generally designed for clinical populations, thus not often appropriate for the general population) out there and this one is generally seen as a psuedo measure (limited psychometric properties), with very poor reliability and based on quite limited and one dimensional types of personality (Put it in to google scholar to see what I am talking about).
Nooooo! Don’t use the tests. You’re supposed to use cognitive functions! The tests never work!😅
Although you aren't completely wrong. Tests aren't completely reliable so take several and see what you come up most as and study the different functions and figure out which is your dominant function. Ten find the chart with the different types (ESTP, INTJ, ISFP, Etc.) and figure out the order of which each type uses. Me, Ni-Te-Fi-Se. Introverted intuition, extraverted thinking, introverted feeling, extraverted sensing= INTJ. DM for more info. Too long to explain in a comment

I would dispute that. If anything, learn about the cognitive functions outside of the context of the types and -if possible- without having a clue what your type is. Then figure out your stacking without any clouded judgement regarding the type you think you are or 'want to be' and figure out what type that stack belongs to. Scrap tests entirely. Cognitive functions really are the only way to 'accurately' determine your type. Yeah tests can be cool, but don't just take a test and see what the cognitive functions are of that type (at least I think that's what you're saying) because that just as useless as just taking the test alone. I guess it could be more effective than just taking a test if you contrast the cognitive functions to the different results you get and use the tests as a narrow-down tool, if that's what you mean. But I still don't think it's the most fool-proof method. If anyone wants to learn about cognitive functions, I would recommend the personality hacker duo- they explain them really well and through a lens of self-growth.
