This is a completely circular argument. So it is a self validating argument. In other words, it is begging the question.
lol, it's not a circular argument

Carl Jung wrote Psychological Types to complement the somatic types of the Führer.

The somatic types are Aryan, Negro, Asian and Jew.

The somatic types are designed to reify persons.

And so the psychological types are also designed to reify persons.

How do you know this?

Are you Victor's illegitimate child? You write just like him, and I suspect he would have read you stories of Mole.

MBTI has nothing to do with my parents.

I suspect that those with controlling or authoritarian parents are attracted to mbti.

For mbti provides an authority and a way of controlling ourselves.

So mbti is a substitute for our controlling parents.

Since you have a controlling mother:

I find I am attracted to women who are unresponsive, controlling and moneyed, just like my mother.

Using your brand of reasoning, you're attracted to the MBTI and use the MBTI as a substitute for your controlling mother.

Quite so.

Finally, after tracking me round for so long, you have hit the nail on the head.

Congratulations, me ol' feline.

Mole = Victor:dry:

This is far too dangerous for you to know, so like the Men in Black, I push the button, there is a flash of light, and you forget you ever knew me.

Or perhaps like the Water Rat, Mole and little Portly you will be given the gift of forgetting by the God Pan, so you may continue to enjoy your daily life, but perhaps with wisps of wistfulness.

No, really, I want to know where you read that. Because I found an article that said the opposite...

We are reified into factors of production by the economy, and we are reified into objects of desire by sexuality. And so we need to be catalogued into types by mbti to be efficient objects.

The Gift of Forgetfulness

:doh: ahhhh!

no wonder. :)

Forget! Forget! This is too fine for you to know. Forget! Forget! The wind in the willows will blow away a memory lest the awful remembrance should remain and grow, and overshadow mirth and pleasure, and the great haunting memory should spoil all the after-lives of little animals helped out of difficulties, in order that they should be happy and light-hearted as before.

So -

Sudden and magnificent, the sun's broad golden disc showed itself over the horizon facing them; and the first rays, shooting across the level water-meadows, took the animals full in the eyes and dazzled them. When they were able to look once more, the Vision had vanished, and the air was full of the carol of birds that hailed the dawn.

As they stared blankly, in dumb misery deepening as they slowly realised all they had seen and all they had lost, a capricious little breeze, dancing up from the surface of the water, tossed the aspens, shook the dewy roses, and blew lightly and caressingly in their faces; and with its soft touch came instant oblivion. For this is the last best gift that the kindly demi-god is careful to bestow on those to whom he has revealed himself in their helping: the gift of forgetfulness. Lest the awful remembrance should remain and grow, and overshadow mirth and pleasure, and the great haunting memory should spoil all the after-lives of little animals helped out of difficulties, in order that they should be happy and light-hearted as before.

If there's any other silly propaganda you've uncritically gobbled down about the MBTI, feel free to let me know, and I'll do my best to continue your deprogramming.

C'mon, mbti was plagiarised from Psychological Types by the Fuhrer loving Carl Jung. And Carl himself said that Psychological Types was based on no empirical evidence. So mbti is based neither on evidence nor reason.

In fact mbti is a trance induction like astrology.

And mbti knows not critical thinking, and avoids cognitive dissonance like the plague.

*strong disagree out of left field*

To say it is unreasoned, at least, would be a highly unsubstantial postulation - given reason needs no empiricism.
