Is anyone aware of research that studies how MBTI type or Jungian types would be expressed/observed in a person who also is on the dissociative disorder spectrum?
While I realize MBTI considers itself invalid for individuals with psychiatric illness, that would mean it is technically invalid for about 18% of each year, thus is a bit of a weak argument from an exploratory perspective that assumes innate personality type at birth as MBTI does. The question would be what would one observe in a given MBTI type after developing a dissociative disorder?
(As an aside, these disorders can contain a very wide range of severity, from common things like absentmindedly driving home from work to very severe multiple personality disorder. This book is a very good discussion of how the continuum is seen and how those in the middle look-sort of fragmented in personality but still very aware of a single self)
