I am an Aries which probably fits me better than my mbti/ennea

This thread is more revealing to me about certain people than anyone's mbti/enneatype :D

I tentatively adopt my role in the etribe of Central in the global village. And the role I adopt is Aries, INFP.

But how interesting - we call ourselves 'Central' when we live in acoustic space where there is no single centre, rather the centre is everywhere.

It's called test-retest reliability. The MBTI has excellent test-retest reliability. As you can see on the Wikipedia article for the MBTI, it is strongly correlated with the Big 5, which is widely accepted in psychology, and also has excellent test-retest reliability. You can think of the MBTI as a rotation of the Big 5 that focuses on composite multidimensional descriptions with an emphasis on positive psychology.

It's charming you have such blind faith in mbti because in 75 years there has not been one random double blind experiment on mbti.

My sun sign is Libra. My rising is Cancer and my moon sign is Scorpio. However, I don't buy into astrology much. I only know these things because my cousin is an astrologer and finds me an "interesting study".

I'm an INFJ 5w4, supposedly.

It could be plausible that the changes of weather and other conditions throughout the year might, at some level, influence our personality depending on when we are born. People participate in different activities depending on the time of year, and have different habits. For these reasons, the chemicals running through the mother would differ slightly or have different concentrations, and that would influence the baby in the womb. Perhaps their is an increase of "introverted" children that are born in Winter, and slightly more "extroverted" ones in Summer, because of the contrast in general behaviors people have in these months. So the month one is born could in theory affect who you are, if only slightly.

The issue with this of course is that, unlike Astrology, it could never be universal, because the weather and seasons differ from country to country. The culture would also have to be taken into account. And some places only have a dry or wet season, so the divisions aren't even uniform. But what I'm getting at is that Astrology's premise of the time of year affecting personality (if it is due to positions of the sky rather than weather etc) isn't completely nonsensical.

Is this the thread wherein wishes becomes ‘science’ via some sort of alchemical process?
I’m a scorpio INFP, whatever that means.
I’m also a flying goat named desmond, who prefers his toast done on one side, and one side only.
Like a Möbius strip, we twist and turn on our way, but end up in exactly the same spot. This is delusion, and not ironic in the least.
