^You're right, it doesn't make any sense. Why have only three of us seen this?
It's that people either assume "the leading theory" (one of several) of function order is correct, and base many of their self-assessments on this arbitrary scheme; or they take a test (which may test something meaningful, or not) and use the order it spits out. Either way it's kind of a barbed wire canoe.Do you mean what I said or what he said????
Hmmm...I was hoping someone could clarify the whole thing a bit more, but alas....
Gahhhhhhhhh!!!
Okay, anyway, I guess the solution will never be found. Is a person who is Ne>Fi>Fe>Ni>Ti>Se>Te>Si an ENFP or an ENFJ or an ENFX?
That's better, LL. *silly smileys and stuff*
Don't think I'm discounting 16-type, I've become a Keirseyan for the most part. +some socionics.
Keirsey doesn't use functional analysis. I think he explains it in Please Understand Me II but I haven't read it in years.
In my case, it's because my best-fit type doesn't fit all that well. The closest thing I've come to is INFP, but I don't feel much kinship with other INFPs for the most part. And I'm the most T in my family-- which isn't saying much, but it skews my perspective. Basically I don't think I'm capable of objectivity so I reserve judgment.
Also I kind of like being an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in mystery.
^Keirsey decided to avoid the problem because temperament is observable while function use isn't, necessarily.
Online resources for what, specifically. Well there's no reason to ask, here's everything: Personality Test - Keirsey Temperament Website.Are there any good online resources, or does one necessarily have to buy the book?
