I'm mistyped and I've actually been lying all along to prove a point. I wonder if anyone can tell me what my real type is.

What point are you trying to prove?

I wish this thread would go away already. It's ridiculous and serves only as a starting point for arguments that will very likely never make any progress at all.

You can make people believe anything.

ENTP.

for real.

Yeah, but that's already been proven.

So what type are you covering up?

I worry about all the young people on this site, wrapping their sense of who they are in the world around MBTI instead of knowing who they are first. Imagine, saying to yourself at 18 "I am an INFP, that's why I am _________." What a tragedy, in that instead of helping liberate oneself, MBTI could be a cage that confines.

Well, almost everything is a double edged sword, in my opinion.

People could misuse MBTI in all sorts of ways, but I suspect a lot of young people would feel liberated to know they are not just extensions of their parents, or that they don't have to live up to some arbitrary standards of what their society or community considers to be "right" and "good".

MBTI is awesome, and I wish I had known about it when I was 15-20 years old.

He's just trying to stir the pot. ENFP.

Nah, was just kidding to see what responses I would get (hence my last post's smiley to give it away lest people thought I was serious).

But it is an interesting topic to me. How much of what people assert is related to the actual veracity of our post's words? And how much of it reflects confirmation bias? I'd love to know how people would type me if I had never disclosed my type when I registered. I don't think I doubt my type....but I might doubt other's ability to spot it. (i remember getting some ESTJ hate due to some of my thoughts on some topic when I had ESTJ under type for a couple of days ) Just as I doubt my ability to accurately type people.

I get what you are saying, but if you're a nice guy I'll just treat you nicely.
Online, we can only go on what you say but you're right that some people take this stuff too far.
