How much the MBTI is really an important in real life ? Tell your opinions ...
MBTI has been extremely important in my real life.
I first started learning about it, so that I could understand my children better and be a better mom,
but it also helped me understand myself and why I behave the way I do.
Being an INTJ, I struggled with constantly thinking and believing I was defective because of my inability to be perfect.
MBTI helped me accept myself the way I am.
I learned to not only accept, but also APPRECIATE the differences of others, which previous to that time used to make me angry.
MBTI helped me understand my children's strengths and weaknesses.
It helped me get along better with my husband.
It helps me get along better with my co-workers... basically anybody I come into contact with.
The most useful thing to me is understanding the difference between J & P.
This is the area most likely to create conflict for me, so I most often find myself trying to discern whether someone is a J or a P,
whether they want things planned ahead of time or whether they prefer to play things "by ear".
