What does the Red Pill says about the Myers–Briggs (Carl Jung) personality types?

Long story short: Forget about it. It's unscientific. The only goldstandard for personality types are these so called "Big 5 Personality Traits"

To cut it short. MBTI is NOT based on true Jungian definitions - the definitions are redefined by Briggs to sell books and for intellectual easiness. It is also NOT legitimate, only popular, just as people in China used to use astrology to gauge suitability for jobs in the imperial court.

If you want more info PM.

INTP before TRP, INTP after a few years of TRP

it doesn't change much for me

and despite the recommendations about selecting the most extremes answers

Personality types are not static—it evolves over time.

Introverts can become extroverts. If an introvert does an insane day game session, his personality will evolve. Tom Torero, a day game pau who owns a day game Podcast, was introvert. However, after months of day game, he has become an extrovert.

Nick Krauser, a person Rollo Tomassi considers one the best day gamers, said himself that he is an INTJ. Yet you say, or rather psychologists say that INTJ’s are shit at social settings. But here we have Krauser who goes out, day games, and slays women.

Take a look at the military. The military trains men from pussies to trained killers. Their personality has shifted and evolved to better suit their environment.

On a similar note, personalities change if a person has PTSD. A person who was once a happy, jubilant person becomes a highly frightened person.

Every autobiographies, biographies, and memoirs of successful people, such as CEOs, military commanders, soldiers, presidents, PUA, etc., you will read about their transformation in personality. Look at Jeff Bezos meme picture—from shit to better.

Now take a look at the 7 billion people on earth, or rather your friends in school. Remember the days of your childhood? Fun times, said whatever you want with girls, curios about everything etc. You, as a child, are different than you at the present. Your personality has shifted. Remember your old friends? I bet their personality has evolved into something else.

Personally, I think it’s ridiculous to put 7+ billion people into just 16 personality categories. Of all the people I met, they are unique in experience. Although I don’t give a shit about their background, I know that each individual has a different personality that makes them slightly memorable (I will mostly forget about them later on).

TL;DR:

Personality types are not solid— it adapts to its situation and it changes through time and experience.

Ignore the MBTI. It's not even close to scientific. The current professional standard among cognitive psych professionals is the MMPI 2.0

Myers Briggs is horoscopes for the LinkedIn crowd.

Wow, a lot of crap comments. MBTI can really help you understand how you interpret the world around you even though some say it is unscientific. The issue I see a lot of people having with the test is that they try to use it as an unchangeable absolution of who they are. People can change and adapt even though most people will keep the same type.

What you really need to realize is that these personality types all fall on a scale. I am an ENTP and that is almost always how I type out, however, sometimes I come up as an INTJ. I credit this to different tests having different questions or just differently worded questions. There are tests that will show you how much you lean towards each part of the personality. For example, I scale nearly 50/50 between E/I and P/J so you can see how I could easily score as different types.

I consider myself an extroverted introvert. I have no issue being or doing stuff alone, in fact, I rather enjoy it. That being said, I also have no issue socializing as long as I get some alone time to recharge. I think that more extroverted people are opposite where they mostly enjoy being around people socializing and only can handle so much alone time before they feel they should be back out socializing.

If you can use the test to help YOU understand YOURSELF better, then who cares if it is "scientific". Just don't put yourself in a box based on what the test says. I check most of the ENTP stereotypes but not all and it's ok because I'm gonna be ME!

It's a garbage pile of hokum. Most importantly, Myers-Briggs has been shown time and again to lack repeatability.

Worse, just read through this thread and see how its supporters react to anything indicting it. Somehow Myers-Briggs turned into a cult. Its supporters react like cult members do when someone questions their leader or their doomsday date.

FixYourselfFirst · 2018-09-30T15:34:14+00:00

Too much theory. Figure out what you want, then determine what you need to change to accomplish it. Anyone can change if they are motivated enough.

SteveStJohn · 2018-09-30T19:17:40+00:00

Myers-Briggs is complete nonsense.

BiscottiGeneral · 2018-09-30T20:23:44+00:00

Wow very interesting you posted this. I am also INTJ and took the test in high school, college, and 3 years after college and consistently got INTJ. I think the test is insanely accurate because after reading my results, it described me perfectly.

Mixing what I know about myself through the MBTI, and what I’ve learned with TRP, I’ve realized that I have to do a lot of internal retrospection to become who I want to be. There’s a lot of conflict between the two, but they do work together if you try to better yourself all the time.

DM me if you wanna chat, I don’t think I’ve ever met another INTJ.

Feel-good nonsense.

Won't help you much when getting a job, for example.

ESTP ENTP are chads

OfficerWade · 2018-09-30T23:03:13+00:00

The only reason we would care about this is if a girl is curious about your personality and it might lead to you getting laid.. which was the first time I heard about this test. Some “artsy fartsy” girl was going around asking people about their personality and telling them hers is INTJ and blah blah blah. Needless to say she was looking for validation. Don’t fuck with these women and don’t fuck with these tests.

MakeMenGreatAgain44 · 2018-09-30T16:02:12+00:00

ENTJ. Don't listen to those who try to discredit MBTI. It's real science and it's very useful for understand how your personality works. I would seriously recommend watching videos on YouTube. Some channels there are really good

Musicgoon · 2018-09-30T16:45:52+00:00

Its a great theory for boxing in someone's personality. Give yourself a label and then hide behind it.....

"I can't talk to chicks as easy as Musicgoon does. I'm an INFJ. I might try some dick".

Make your own path.
