depending on various factors
not all of which can be accounted for
I took one and it says I am extraverted
which is true yet false
this problem comes up in medicine a lot
I see what you're saying
a lot of stuff is tested to be just great, very useful
but has no clinical significance once actually put into practice
partly that's just bad faith testing
correct would be:
Extremely open to new experience
Highly conscientious
Extremes of introversion and extraversion depending on the day
Not agreeable at all
High neuroticism
and a lot of stuff done in medicine does not have good ("A") evidence
5 disparate things that come together into nothing at all, I've always found
what five things
the ones @Deleted User 57835c2c just said
its his big 5
what do you mean by "come together into nothing at all"
that they're orthogonal?
you cannot derive anything from it, new knowledge, it doesn't tell you anything about the person beyond the sum of the parts tested
whereas an MBTI profile tells you a lot
you can predict their responses to specific scenarios based on that information
like even your skepticism for this stuff
fits with your type
yeah, but when you predict
I don't doubt that MBTI can make solid analyses of personality
you're just using the result itself
you're not getting a holistic picture out of it that tells you about how that person thinks
what they may value, and how
why not
sure sounds like it
I dont understand the question
*you're not getting a holistic picture out of it that tells you about how that person thinks*
you can tell they are introverted if they score high on introversion
yeah
isn't that a personality trait
you can tell they are neurotic if they score high on neuroticism
its a personality trait, sure
yeah
isn't that what the test is supposed to determine
what their personality traits are
I guess?
