Big 5 is completely worthless, it doesn't tell you anything really about a person
all it is is reproducible
I'm pretty sure the Big 5 is standard in the psychological community.
it is
That's extremely important
not at all
yes
The results of the test ought to be reproduceable
How else would you determine the reliability of a given result?
its a good criterion, but what comes first is if its true/right and if its useful
But you don't know if it's true
If it isn't reproduceable
statistical reproducibility is not the bar for truth
That's the point of administering the test, to assess personality
otherwise a lot of stuff would be wrong
personality is inherently a subjective thing
its actually very impressive that considering the crap tests
and people's changing moods etc.
it still gets to like 70%
A test that isn't reproduceable isn't worth using
In this instance
The instance of personality tests.
in this instance, reproducibility would be nice
all the lack of it really tells you is the tests are shit
not that MBTI is shit
if you decide MBTI is shit because the tests are shit
Didn't you just say that MBTI isn't reproduceable
you've not really given it a fair chance
or has poor reproduceability
it's like 70% reproducible
not scientific or objective
exactly
so it sucks
I'm not going to be able to impress this on you I think
My results aren't guaranteed to reflect objective reality
reproducibility is not objective reality
as personality is subjective
a person can have 1 type, but answer differently
depending on various factors
not all of which can be accounted for
