Typology Central - View Single Post - Poll: Is knowing your best-fit type important?

Post in the multiple-option poll if you want or comment below or do both as desired. It's an equal-opportunity kind of thread.

I occasionally question my own type, even though I've self-verified as INTP to my own satisfaction. The more I learn about type and type dynamics, the more content I am, both about my best-fit type and about the different personas I present for different situations.

On some level though, I do view type as just a facet of my personality. Only when speaking to type-people do I identify my type. (I do have an "INTP" t-shirt, but it doesn't get much wear.)

So, is knowing your best-fit type important?

Is that knowledge important to YOU personally only? Or is it important that your friends/family/etc (those others who are type-people) know as well?

If you feel there's a mismatch, how concerned are you that you resolve that mismatch? Are you making an effort to find it, or are you content with ambiguity?

If you do think it's important, why?
