Comment on the struggle
deadlyduplicate@lemmy.world 2 months agoSure, but a lot of people have also ‘heard’ that mbti is not scientifically valid and go around parroting that without any knowledge of what specifically science says about it.
It is entirely possible that outside of a scientific discipline, mbti works well enough for people to use.
Kind of like how we use the term “meme” and understand what it means but the concept of memes are not used in science because other models of cultural evolution have better explanatory power.

Totally agree - just because MBTI is all made up, doesn’t mean it can’t be helpful for people! I think it still holds value since it helps people recognize their strengths and their differences from others. Anecdotally, I have definitely been on work teams where it has led to greater collaboration and mutual respect!

Lot of people in this comment section are neglecting that it can just be fun for some people, and there’s no need to stake your entire identity on a personality test
