I always have observed the ESTP to be more comparable to an ESFP than an ESTJ. ESTJs, as most Guardians do, place an extensive value on accomplishing tasks and maintaining personal responsibility. An ESxP’s main motivation is to enjoy life to the fullest extent of the present moment, causing the Artisan’s interaction style to be almost abrasive towards the Guardian’s.
The chances of this occurring are dramatically heightened when someone is borderline on the functions or even in the dichotomies. These measurements are more specific than the temperaments and a minute difference in score can therefore affect the entire readout. The temperaments on the other hand are very distinctly flavored and wide spreading, making it easier to sort someone into one of the four personality boxes.i admit that his theories correlate to the truth. there are two problems, though:
1) he can't account for people on the border between temperaments (like me for example, lol). this will lead to putting people in boxes that they don't actually fit into.
Depends on what we’re measuring. ISFPs and INFPs are both dominate Fi so if you’re looking at the many ways in which they carry their moral values then yes, INFPs are more similar to ISFPs. However, ultimately INFPs are far more comparable to INTPs as the S-N dichotomy determines everything from a person’s basic perception of the world to the manner in which they spend their leisure time. The T-F divide determines how a person will act out on that information, either externally or internally, but in other regards Rationals and Idealists are quite similar.2) his temperaments are not parallel, which is totally misleading. for example, ISFP and INFP are much more similar than ISFP and ISTP, but he groups the SPs together.
The same can be said for any of the other various methods. There is no shortage of MBTI enthusiasts who gauge type by the dominant function and the dominant function alone, leading to an extreme oversimplification of the personality types. Overall, any form of measurement can be misread and misinterpreted, regardless of how meticulous it is. And none of the MBTI determination methods tend to win very highly in terms of being detailed or scrupulous.yes, some people who would not delve into the functions will gain some insight. but some of those some will get FALSE insight. allllllll bad.
