I think that MBTI may be giving some people the benefit of the doubt when they shouldn't be. Okay, so here is how I came up with this idea:
While running (I get most of my ideas while I run) I came up with a funny joke about how the "No Trolling Rule" was discriminatory towards certain types. Like ENTPs, and what not. Hahahaha! Yes, I was laughing while running. :laughing:
But then I thought "Naw, it's good that we have some sort of standard for behavior and we really don't need to condone inappropriate behavior". But in so many ways we do.
Are we too forgiving of a certain type if we know it's weaknesses or tendencies? In this way, shouldn't we look at being a mature human being, rather than their type? Since when is it okay to put up with tantrums or pouting? I don't care what the type is. When is it okay to be passive aggressive just because a type is known for being that way? Since when is it okay for a person to lack empathy or detached from their own emotions? This is hardly healthy. Since when is it okay to put up with arrogance, condescending overtones and projection? Regardless of type, these are not healthy human behaviors. Shouldn't all of us know of our weakness and try to work on them?
Has MBTI caused us to be too forgiving? Communication and understanding is one thing, but have we now become enablers for negative behaviors in another?
