What do you (most) use MBTI for?

[Quinlan]

What is it's most important use to you?

Poll to come.

 

[Valuable_Money]

To boost my already massive ego with the knowledge that I share the same 4 letter description of my identity as Nikola Tesla and Dr. House.

 

[Amethyst]

To understand people's motives and to use them to my liking.

 

[INTP]

For these mainly:
Understanding and maximising your strengths
Understanding and overcoming your weaknesses
Understanding other people
Understanding and improving social interactions

little bit for this(or actually this comes from understanding myself):
A self esteem boost

and some other things that are not listed.

cant vote because i dont use it the most for any particular thing and you didnt give option for multiple choices.

 

[skylights]

Use? I'm an Intuitive...

ditto, though i voted anyway

 

[wolfy]

I voted Understanding and maximising your strengths
but these are important too...
Understanding and overcoming your weaknesses
As a shorthand language to discuss/explore deeper concepts

 

[Randomnity]

mostly just to get into arguments on the internet

 

[Chloe]

mostly just to get into arguments on the internet

wise.

this is my answer:
To feel "normal"

That.

(I also enjoy the colorful commentary Victor provides on the evil of MBTI and Sim -- god rest his soul -- provides on function theory.)

 

[lucibelle]

There were two in there that fit me...
As a shorthand language to discuss/explore deeper concepts
&
Use? I'm an Intuitive...
...Ended up going with the former.
What wasn't on that list but which I most use MBTI for?
Stupid things. Stupid thoughts that make little sense.

 

[Donna Cecilia]

"Understanding other people" -without interacting with them.

 

[Nonsensical]

mostly used when there is a lack of toilet paper in the bathroom.

 

[Quinlan]

No one has a corporate agenda? Disappointing...

 

[miss fortune]

you don't have entertainment as an option!

 

[Aleksei]

To brainwash the masses with your corporate agenda.

I thought you guys all used it for this reason...

 

[ragashree]

you don't have entertainment as an option!

Pesky Estpies, they always have to get in there first! It's their competitive natures I think.

I wanted to say just the same thing - but my type wouln't let me do it in time, because it makes me procrastinate and think before I act too much...

What is your type, anyway?

 

[miss fortune]

and you need to add an option for ragashree as well... whipping boy

 

[Arclight]

What is it's most important use to you?

Poll to come.

I wish that poll had the multi-option choice..

I have several reasons.
I want to understand and improve myself so I can better get along with myself and by extension ,others.

MBTI is not the only tool I use for this purpose.

 

[ragashree]

What is your type, anyway?

- whatever with honorable mention to Halla and Ragashree

WANNABE ESTP?

and you need to add an option for ragashree as well... whipping boy

Hey! I don't see why I don't have the right to blame my type, if everyone else can!

Hmm, hold on, MY Type is just a whipping boy in the eyes of your type? Your type is just displaying its usual stereotypical prejudices against mine. Your type actually sucks for being so prejudiced!
