MBTI may not lose much rigidity if letters vanished completely and type descriptions were rewrote in a way that they describe mental processes. In fact removing letters may open up new possibilities to MBTI to reach deeper level of biological data execution instructions (aka a level between perpetually changing brains and their constant origin, genes).

MBTI/Jungian typology currently has the most chances of reaching next level.

 

I think it's a great gateway to personality psychology.

 

I believe that not everyone fits into one type. I think it's more accurate to say that someone has some aspects of one type and some of another, and maybe also a bit of a 3rd and 4th type. I can't imagine that humans are just reproductions of the same 16 templates, MBTI is a model to describe human minds, but human minds don't need to follow MBTI. Type is just a classification system to describe a larger, unknown phenomenon.

Also I'm somewhat sceptical about cognitive functions and stack models, but I guess that topic is already discussed and not necessarily "unpopular".

 

I think people who say this aren't sensitive to all the nuances of individual cognitive functions.

Introverted functions keep collecting things.

This is why people of the same type are different on the surface. Their introverted functions collected different experiences. You should still be able to identify which of their functions are introverted.

Extroverted functions harness and let go of the moment.


Also, people can choose to "cut off" flow to their lower functions, or they can allow all of them to be shown.

 

I think MBTI should be a more well known workshop in school/work. It helps people to understand one another better, and helps prepare people for teamwork as well.

 

Oh god, no

 

I don't think there exists one function stack that everyone or almost everyone fits into.

 

I believe that the lower a function is, the more refined it is. (by the higher functions)

Therefore not used in a bullshit way. Tertiary Fe is merit-based Fe (refined by auxiliary Ti). Etc.

 

that its produced by psychologists to segregate the weaker members of society... i.e. the sensitive introverts (infps, istps, isfps etc). I think it's excellent what they've done.
