Are personality types accurate?
I feel like I share some traits of certain personalities but not all.

 

[DarkRange55]

The most cutting-edge scientific psychometric personality test is HEXACO its more accurate than Big Five which used to be, its much more accurate than Myers-Briggs, INFJ, ENTP all that stuff. So HEXACO tests you on 26 facets of your personality. Honesty-Humility (H), Emotionality (E), Extraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Openness to Experience (O).

The HEXACO Personality Inventory - Revised

Fun fact: Narcissism breaks into seven subsets: authority, superiority, exhibitionism, expectativeness, vanity, self-sufficiency. The top scientists who created the HEXACO score the NPI narcissistic personality inventory they class high-levels of self sufficiency as a mental illness.

Yeah I tried the myers-briggs test and I dont think I got the right result.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I feel like Myers-Briggs is more accurate than, say, the zodiac, but maybe that bar is too low.

The reason I believe in the MBTI is that at least for me, the results have always been consistent and unlike with some other less-intricate personality tests, I don't also identify with any of the other results I didn't get.

The idea of distinct personality "types" is a gross oversimplification of the human condition. There's only one of you, and yet, we're all more alike than we aren't.

It's much easier to shove you in a box than trying to understand you as a person tho

What about SLOAN/Big Five? How do you interpret your HEXACO result? I sent you mine a while back @DarkRange55

Yeah I tried the myers-briggs test and I dont think I got the right result.

What did you get? There's also enneagram, Kiersey temperament, socionics, etc

What are you? I'm INTP

I'm INFP.

Why do they class high levels of self sufficiency as a mental illness?

I believe it's referring to toxic levels of self-reliance

Unlearning Toxic Self-Reliance and Embracing Accommodation | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson

A true vision of Harvard excellence demands that we accommodate all people by celebrating rather than stigmatizing neurodiversity and actively creating space for differences. We must learn to build a culture that starts by seeing all people as valuable and worthy of being accommodated, no matter...

Why would self-reliance be toxic?

 

[DarkRange55]

Why would self-reliance be toxic?

It's not, they're referring to toxic levels

Why would self-reliance be toxic?

So, for example, when a problem has gotten out of your control, but you refuse to accept help

Oh okay. Btw could you help me interpret my HEXACO results? I sent them to you via DM

Sorry about the delay I'll try to respond to both of your messages today

It's okay. Love your rhyme btw. Have you ever thought about being an author/writer? You have a way with words

Depends on what you mean. Things like Myers-Briggs are not reliable. The big five is pretty solid. Psychometrically speaking, I mean.

I studied psychology in college but I'm also nearly falling asleep atm so forgive me for not explaining more.

 

[DarkRange55]

I think Jungian archetypes are interesting but I'm not saying it's 100% solid. I think there are ubiquitous sapient fascinations. I'm sure they map on (Jungian archetypes) but the fascinations I'm thinking of are sex, love, power, uncertainty, etc.
In my view, Satan is absolutely an archetype that we all have within us. We all have the capacity for in a relationship to- evil!

 

[Homo erectus]

All personality types are simplification, reducing all characteristics of a person into a few parameters. More parameters are more accurate. The most accurate is the person itself, because everyone is unique. But life is also repetitive, the 80/20 rule applies. Knowing 20% is sufficient for 80% of everything.

I've heard of those. I took a test once and got magician. Could you link your favorite test and more information on it?

Personality types are indeed simplifications, yet they can provide valuable insights into common patterns of behavior and preferences. While no model can capture the full complexity of an individual, they can still offer useful frameworks for understanding and interacting with others.

It is not a hard and fast mathematical law. It is a concept. However, it does hold true in various aspects of life.

Indeed.
However, these are not "personality tests" but rather models to categorize, describe and test hypothesis.

We all have multiple archetypes (personalities, or whatever) within us. Some types are born with, some are programmed in various ways. Most are hidden, or suppressed. People are forced to express some types more prominently and silent other types at work. Acting is the forced (controlled) expression of some otherwise hidden types. The character/traits are already in the person, but normally suppressed. Subliminal messages and symbolism on TV and public shows can be triggers to make people do some tasks.

Scientifically, most of your personality comes from your genetics.
And as I said above: ubiquitous sapient fascinations. Satan, for example, is within all of us. As one example.

Yes, sexual orientation, for example, is a response to environment pressure. But traits can also be brainwashed into a person such as in a cult setting. They are normally hidden but tiggered into action by cult leaders when needed.

Sexual orientation is a complex interplay between environment, hormones and genetics

For example, homosexuality exists across wide spectrum of nature.

There is no ‘gay gene.’ There is no ‘straight gene.’ Sexuality is just complex, study confirms

A genetics study of nearly half a million people closes the door on a long-standing debate in sexuality.

i used to be obsessed with personality tests because they at least gave me some sense of self. i love defining myself as an INTP who was a unicorn in her past life

 

[broth0100]

Depends on how accurately u respond to the assessment probably. Im generally not a fan if myers briggs or enneagram tho

 

[hail]

no idea, shoutout to my fellow infp homies though
