Making some assumptions about people based on type is somewhat the foundation of MBTI theory in the first place. I've noticed the main problem occurs when someone defines a type based primarily on a specific individual they know who made an impression on them, and so they transfer that person's attributes to everyone else labeled with the same type. That will definitely lead to incorrect assumptions, and so should be discouraged.
It is difficult to define types generally enough to be relevant to all the people within the category, but still specific enough to make each category unique. It is a difficult problem to try to categorize human beings because the individual variations work against it to some degree.
this is the exact reason why i said no. because it's 9 out of 10 times negative and often not true for that indivdual.
Good thoughts!Any form of ism will be met with scorn and disgust by me since I truly do believe that life is exciting by the variety of different personalities coming together and offering their unique perspectives on the topics of life. It would be a shame for me to reject those who are of a different type than myself since that would mean cutting out some wonderful opportunities to learn and to grow as a person, by getting to know their worldviews and opinions that I haven't even thought of in the first place. That said, it is only human nature to judge those who seem unlike ourselves, but it takes true intelligence to break through the first impression and to see what they have to offer.
Good thoughts!
Perhaps a lot of it is simply that it is better to ask people who they are, rather than telling them who they are.
I used to have an account on PerC and I faced a lot of typeism. I identified as a sensing type for a while and the way I was treated seemed different than how I was when I identified as an INFP. It gets annoying because I didn't change anything about myself. I'm just who I've always been. So yes, it seems unfair to me that an S would be treated differently than an N or that a T would be treated differently than an F.
The twisted word games are pure head trauma in any context.exactly because when you tell people who they are they get trapped and they read false assumptions into what they do. and the person typisming them often puts words in their mouth and the conversation goes no where, it can be used as a form of manipulation and shut the other person down which has happened to me on here in the past which is why i think it's negative.
What are your thoughts on typism? Do you think it's okay to make judgements about a person based on their type? Would you consider it a form of discrimination?

Yeah, typism seems to be more prevalent in PerC than the community here, from what I've seen.
This happens to me all the time here. It's okay though, it doesn't bother me anymore because my soul is mostly dead now
