What is MBTI? Is it reliable?

MBTI is useful in some fields. For example, a simple division of the crowd and a supplement to self-knowledge. But whether it is MBTI, type 9 personality or astrology, there is an inevitable paradox. This is the Barnum effect. All the test results you get are intentionally or unintentionally mixed with the "barnum Statement". At the same time, in more and more personality tests, you can't tell whether your conclusion is the real you or the one you want.

So when doing the test, there will always be an ideal personality in your subconscious, which will always affect your choice and complete self-deception in your subconscious. So, how many of these personality tests can completely accurately and objectively reflect the true self? It is better to ask yourself this question when people who like all kinds of self-tests really calm down.

Many well-known and unknown scholars in modern psychology have questioned more and more personality tests on various occasions and forums, which is not unreasonable (even the Big Five, which is considered to be relatively reliable in psychology, has been questioned since its birth. )。 Because many studies show that people who are keen on various personality tests are very lacking in self-confidence, that is to say, the more enthusiastic people are about various personality tests, the more insecure they are, the easier it is for them to form their ideal image in the subconscious, and this ideal image affects their choices and tendencies in topics, so the more enthusiastic people are about personality tests, the more incomplete the results of personality tests are, even if they belong to ideal characters rather than real ones. This has caused many people to be very blind to self-knowledge after the exam, but in reality, they have a gap because of the defects of their real personality, and further lose their confidence.

People's self-awareness should be the feedback of interpersonal activities in the real world, which is the only way for you to improve yourself and the most true and correct way.

If you think it makes sense, think for yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't like it If you feel unreasonable, don't contradict me in a hurry. If you can think about it, my goal will be achieved. Barnum effect, friends who don't like reading all kinds of serious words can read Dr. richard wiseman's book "Weird Psychology", which is quite interesting and scientific.

That's all. I hope that students who love all kinds of tests can put down their test scores and seriously complete their real personality tests in the real world.
