I have scored 9 different types over the years. I think someone else mentioned they scored 8.
The latest MBTI versions use facets. The facets reveal more of the person. ....Makes me wonder what results we'd all get, using all the versions of MBTI that ever existed.
As Jaguar has reminded us, MBTI is a system of 'facets' or one that employs a wide range of different personality descriptions to characterize one particular type. Furthermore, MBTI descriptions are often vague and vary from one version to another.
For these reasons, many MBTI users believe that they can identify with many different types and do not know what type they should regard as the most descriptively accurate. We also know that MBTI online tests ask very vague questions the answers to which are often contingent on a person's transient circumstances such as social environment, job title, mood and the impact of recent experiences. I invite you to take a poll where you may indicate how many different results you've received on MBTI tests and to brainstorm what, if anything, could be done to make a more reliable test.
