        Please do not conflate MBTI with Jung's typology. MBTI does exactly what Jung warned against as in the enclosed from the Forward to the Argentine Edition of his "Psychological Types." Furthermore, Jung's typology is indeed based on empirical data.pic.twitter.com/ugrXqg8elJ

        Jung had gathered a wealth of empirical psychological data from his patients, analysands, and colleagues to develop his "critical apparatus" (typology) and described (enclosed) how it was to be used.pic.twitter.com/fmxWASkEbt

        Some that blast MBTI love to also trot out the five factor model which... seems to have more similarities than differences. As a layman, I’m sure their criticism is valid too. But durable personality characteristics seem to exist, however poorly we measure and label them.

        " it lacks agreement with known facts and data, lacks testability, and possesses internal contradictions." OK. But other than that, it works great!

        Maybe. Too bad the paper is paywalled.
