There is no dignity is swallowing everything like a goldfish, but there is dignity in critical thinking.
Another word for dignity is self respect, and those without dignity lack self respect, in fact they disrespect themselves and so it is natural for them to disrespect others.
But we can regain our dignity and self respect by learning to think critically. And we have the perfect opportunity here to learn to think critically about MBTI. The genuine name of Typology Central is MBTI Central, so in learning to think critically about MBTI, we are learning to genuinely think critically.
We could attend a university course that teaches critical thinking, almost any Philosophy 101 will teach critical thinking; or we can find a role model who is a practised critical thinker.
If we haven't yet learnt to think critically, it can be difficult to recognise a critical thinker, but as we ourselves start to practise critical thinking, we start to recognise other critical thinkers.
One popular and relevant critical thinker is Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and we can find out how she thinks critically by reading her books. Of course there is no need to agree with Ayaan, what we are looking for is how to think critically.
I tend to fall in love with important writers and so I find it easy to learn from them. And when we find what is important to us, we tend to fall in love with more and more writers. So we continue to learn and grow.
MBTI is a powerful cult 75 years old, and it depends on vulnerable people taking it in without thinking about it critically.
Fortunately Typology Central practises freedom of speech, guaranteed by the American Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Australian High Court, so this is the perfect place to practise critical thinking about MBTI.
But be warned, self respect doesn't come easily, because critical thinking is usually accompanied by cognitive dissonance which is emotionally painful. Also we find we are opposed by those who have embraced a lack of self respect and seek to share this with others.
So critical thinking is liberating.
