47 closer to thin boundary.
Thought I'd score much lower.

There may be a connection between some intuitive types and thinner boundaries, but I don't know for sure. I think ENTJs will have thicker boundaries. Introverts have thinner boundaries. It depends on the type.

I think thinner boundaries is actually correlated with feeling strongly and has a weaker one with intuition. It'd make much more sense for feelers to have thinned boudraries because feeling is all about connection.

45 is an ok score. I thought I'd be thinner to be honest.

Adherence to new age beliefs and practices, such as yoga, reiki, divination, and astrology, is positively correlated with thin boundaries as well as with measures of schizotypy and magical thinking.[5] New age beliefs and thin boundaries may be related through such shared factors as a sense of "connectedness", holism and emotional sensitivity, as well as a thinking style defined by looseness of association. That is, new age beliefs and practices encourage the development of emotional sensitivity and a sense of "holistic self-awareness" associated with magical thinking and the belief that "everything is connected."

Thanks for sharing. Now I understand even better why people who have those qualities : sensitivity, vulnerability, creativity, and artistic ability tend to "merge or lose themselves" (or feel they do) in their relations. Which can consequently create the opposite effect : not wanting to merge and get to close emotionally and sometimes....avoiding commitment :doh:

I'm a super allergy kind of guy. My score was 36 but when I was younger it would have been much higher.

I think the correlation between this and MBTI has a lot to do with P versus J, the P types having the thinnest boundaries. I also think we could bring Keirsey into this better than Jung. SJs have the thickest boundaries, NFs have the thinnest in that system. Between SP and NT, I think SP would have thicker boundaries overall.

Ok I need some explanations my dear [MENTION=13589]Mal12345[/MENTION]

Then do you mean an INTJ or an ENTJ has thinner boundaries than an ESFP ? :shrug:

How do you reach such a conclusion ?

As someone who has two genetic illnesses, this sounds like an utter crock of shit and is part of the reason people are denied appropriate medical treatment.

It's not a conclusion based on very much.
