those who are looking for an exacting fit and a perfect solution for an imperfect set of parameters, will be the ones who reject MBTI. .
Yes, it's what makes me tempted to reject it some time.
I've yet to see any psychological or sociological theory be perfect or even close to it. And this is from a very small sampling of such, since I'm not a psych major.Yes, it's what makes me tempted to reject it some time.
Jung himself was probably an ISTP. There are Sensors on here who are quite knowledgeable of MBTI. I said INFPs, specifically, not all Intuitives.
So the inventor could not even properly use his own invention?Jung himself was probably an ISTP.
I was just sharing my experience... I realize I don't know a lot of people, S or N, IRL. My ISFx mom is always asking, "why are you researching this, again?".
The philosopher Rene Rousseau was an ISFP. William Wordsworth was ISFJ, and Sylvia Plath may have been too. Sensors by their very nature do not reject theory, this is a lie of pop-culture typology. A lie that I even fell for in the beginning.
This wins a prize: Rene Russo and Jean-Jacques Rousseau became one.The philosopher Rene Rousseau was an ISFP.

I'm sorry! I apologize! I apologize! I genuflect! Mis apologÃas!

As a natural scientist, thinking and sensation were uppermost in me and intuition and feeling were in the unconscious and contaminated by the collective unconscious. You cannot get directly to the inferior function from the superior, it must always be via the auxiliary function.
Indeed. Viridian, you can venture the step to add a J to your profile. I still believe INFJ, by the way.Dear god you have so much Fe.
Then this site lies: http://www.celebritytypes.com/philosophers/In the man's own words:
INFPs, in my observation, balk at the entire concept of MBTI more than anyone else I've seen. They tend to find the Te nature of putting people in boxes highly offensive to their Fi individuality.
In fact, I think I may know an INFP dude IRL because he started FREAKING OUT last night when I had barely even explained Jungian types to him. My ESFJ guy friend was sitting there with me like "OMGZ LULZ WTF" because the possible-INFP started getting butthurt before he even understood what we were trying to tell him. It was very strange. I thought he might be INTP up until that point, but now I don't think so at all.
Other than that, it varies. I think Feelers may be more likely to get offended when someone else tells them they've misyped themselves.
Probably the denial types - 7,8, & 9.
Anyone who views themselves one way, and doesn't want to admit the truth, in general.
Aren't the denial types 7, 9 and 3?
I didn't know the ennegram had a denial triad. Is this just something you made up or is there stuff out there written about it?
Perhaps because a lot of S types are more "apathetic" than "reluctant" towards the MBTI?
Some people I know love the MBTI and some act offended, like we are not supposed to know that much about them. So which types are likely to be offended by the MBTI?
