I'm not sure what you mean. The categories of the MBTI are very useful, but only if you actually are using them, and not looking at some random "fake news" silliness. I suggest the original book Gifts Differing, if you really want to learn about it.

If a 200 question-aire gets you pseudoscience, so does 3 anecdotes and an armchair psychologist.

Mbti has limitations, but is great if you actually know how it works and don't do pop tests online. I'm INTP, very strongly.

So he guessed wrong...

Also, I'm not guessing. I'm categorizing based on over a decade of work in this field. Personality types are a large part of my research. Here is a breakdown of the MBTI as it relates to the DSM:

Apparently you got it wrong 🤠

There is no "right" or "wrong" in this work. Only more or less effective categorization. Aella Girl's categorization is not effective in helping her understand herself well. Which is why she's more confused about why she thinks and feels the way she does than is necessary.

No, I'm definitely INTP? Assuming you think I'm self classifying wrong; I've read a few books on it as well as some Jung. I know the goal-orientedness I described is not very INTP, which is partially why it's weird; the rest of me is extremely flexible/relaxed.

From what I've seen, you're heavily on the ASD area of brain types. That's Sensing. Specifically, Introvert Sensing. A focus on the material objects of life and the delicious details of everything around you. But that's because other humans' emotions are non-intuitive to you.

The physical reluctance about going out is mostly introversion, obviously, but the more emotional element of you being confused about why you want to enjoy the outside, but procrastinate, is the Sensing, a risk-aversion on the level of relating to your environment too closely.

when the hell is procrastinating a sensing feature? And physical reluctance about me going out is not about introversion. I don't know what kind of stuff you've been reading about typology but this is all completely off.

And yes, the MBTI and my work to continue it is very different from pretty much anything you'll find on the internet. The book Gifts Differing is the original source. I took that and added all the modern research on development (brains, cultures, evolution, etc.)
