…You asked if I enojoyed the books (in that machmir on looks thread)- I did, even though I am a bit critical of these personality typing systems, I still love that feeling of reading my “type’s” description, and wondering “how does s/he know how I think or what gets me frustrated/angry/embarassed/annoyed etc.???”
Even though it’s oversimplified (IMHO, anyway), the Myers & Briggs system is quite discerning…I actually felt like someone was INTRUDING on me when I read about INFP the first time. I was like, “What are YOU doing in my head?! Hey, this is ME, you can’t just steal my individuality and dump me into a cataogry together with 5% of the population out there!”
I really hate labels. INFP is a label, although the point is to give you self-awareness, and to help others understand you better.
But I like being me. Not a “type”. Whatever…
Whaddya think?
