@realcaseyrollins Isn't Meyers Briggs a test that is considered bonkers as it's too unpredicable and doesn't have a lot of scientific basis?

@kumicota @realcaseyrollins
What kind of scientific base do you need to make a personality matrix? You just take any traits you consider to be important and you are done.

You like more cats or dogs?
Are you introverted or extroverted?

Congratulations, you are an EC... Meaning extroverted cat person...

What part of this do you need vigorous scientific research for? It's not even that important to get exactly correct, as long as people fall to diverse categories to begin with.

Not to mention, that as far as I know, it's not even important at all.

I don't read a lot about personality tests but I know that the Big Five Personality Traits has a very good scientific basis

Now, I will save you my usual rant, but you shouldn't just be throwing around scientific this and pseudoscience that when you cannot say the difference in the scientific proof between the two subjects.

Yes, this time I know personally the difference between the way the big 5 and Myers-Briggs were created, but for purpuses of this poll, the difference is so miniscule it's not even worth mentioning.

When you don't know exact science, it's good practice to try your own argumentation, before you just start spreading whatever you heard 'the science' confirmed this week, because that is exactly how we ended up with people not knowing what their gender is.
