What makes you put stock into a personality theory, specifically the Jungian Cognitive Functions (though opinions on other theories are welcome too please)?
From what I've seen, quite a lot of people appear to use this system and others as if it's fact, or near-fact, and that everyone does have a certain 'type' within them, with cognitive functions associated with that type, and this is how the world works. But what makes you, as an individual, come to that conclusion, if you ever have done? Are there certain criteria it checks for you? Does it just make sense in terms of your experiences of yourself or of other people? Is there a study you found that suggests its reliability? Or maybe some other reason entirely?
I'd love to hear as many people's perspectives on this as possible please, just out of curiosity, really.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
