I was nominated by @eveuncovered to take the #mbtichallenge of @escapist. Challenges are lame and outright boring, unless they involve me, so here I am.

If you're not familiar with MBTI, use Google.

I Will Let You In On A Secret: The MBTI Tests SUCK!

Not MBTI itself, but the tests. They conflate logic with having autism and feeling with being gay. Plus, they usually assume that F(feeling) means you suck at systems thinking. They're the reason why MBTI has such a bad rep, although it is used by many fortune 500 companies as a way to be more efficient with their hiring process.

If you want to really dig into MBTI and Jung's theory of cognitive functions (he created the system btw, minus the P/J categorization), you should study each individual function and then try to recognize them in your day-to-day life. I know, this suprasses most people's interest.

The test we are supposed to take is notorious for using a mix of the Big 5 personality traits and rely more on self-report. I recommend this one, as it is the most reliable and has the largest pool of people.

OK, I Ruined The Party, Now It's Time For The Results

Or AM I?!!?!?

See, I've lost the abillity to take the MBTI test, without being fully aware what my answers represent. For example:

This question refers to introverted sensing (Si) vs introverted intuition (Ni). Because I know I am a dominant Ni, I can't possibly answer this without being biased. See my point?

After reading "Psychological Types, vol.6" by Jung, you pretty much recognize type in questions like this. I could be asked to score whatever type you want and I could "fake" it by answering how each type would answer.

What the hell is my type anynway?

I am an INFJ, I know that for sure.

I've took the MBTI test 7 times, in the span of 5 years. I scored ENTP or INTP 5/7 times I think. It is very common, because INFJ-XNTP are considered a golden pair in type psychology. Our fucntions match and complete each other.

Hey Redbeardguy, if you scored XNTP, why do you think you are an INFJ?

Emergent Tertiary Function. The third function of the INFJ is Ti, which is the dominant function for the INTP and the auxilary for ENTP. The tertiary function start developing in your 20s and it's usually very brutal and tends to take over. NF men tend to score as Thinkers because of our disposition (testosterone). We don't like emotions, fuck off.

I don't want to bore you with theory, but if you're interested I could dig deeper, altough I am not really that insightful on the subject.

What's An INFJ And Do I See Myself As One?

When I first scored INFJ using Dario Nardi's test, I was weirded out. If you read some of the shit people write for INFJs you will throw up a rainbow.

The most rare, mysterious and kind type of all!!! Bunch of pussies. They claim that INFJs are some kind of god-like creatures. I was immediately put-off by the hypocrisy and I didn't have a clue for some time what my type was.

I realized that because the INXJs (that is INFJ and INTJ) are indeed rare, people get impressed. But they aren't anything special. You just don't encounter them easily in public and you get surprised when you talk to one. Besides, most dominant intuitive types can be interesting as they represent 20-30% of the population.

I also realized that most INFJs online were really INFPs. The sensitive, but attention whores INFPs. They want everything that is considered "special" for themselves.

What's an INFJ for real? Usually, psychopaths (see Hitler, Ted Bunty) and/or too fucked up in the head. Most people will be furious because I claim I am an INFJ, because they're sensitive snowflakes they can't even comprehend how an asshole like myself is one. What, should I cry and read poetry all day? The Ni-Se is the axis of violence and sex. You are just too fragile to indulge in your natural tendencies.

Remember that you can't fit in a 4-letter box. Your functions represent your preferences and don't define your temperament. For example, you being an introvert doesn't excuse the fact you're socially retarded. Or you being a feeler doesn't excuse the fact you suck at math, capiche?

And that's about it. I am done with the challenge, but I won't nominate anyone, cause I don't have Steemit friends yet. You can nominate your buddies in the comments though.

-Your Steemit bully, Thatredbeardguy

P.S- Challenges feel like I am back in highschool and my coach screaming at me to finish the reps and hit my numbers for the day lmao. Anyway, if you want to learn more about me, read the stuff below or I will come by your house with my gang and fuck your shit up:
