What I mean is, I read a lot of posts where people say "My mom is a XXXX," "my co-worker is XXXX," "A lot of XXXX's I know..."
How do you know, though? Have all your friends and family and co-workers taken the MBTI for themselves, and have they divulged their results to you? Or have you tried to guess for yourselves based on outside observation? Because I would think that the latter method would be rather unreliable and not really fair. How can you possibly know for a certainly what type another person is based on your own observation only?
If my friends and family were to hazard a guess, for instance, I doubt any of them would come up with ESFJ, and yet I personally believe-- after a lot of research and re-consideration-- that this personality type really does fit me best.
