@11112011 This is great for the supposed Spectrums on here to read and bad for all the new generations to read.

It lets supposed Spectrums know they simply have an advantageous personality;
it furthers putting people in boxes, including people boxing themselves then feeling they should act out the parts in the box that aren’t their own.

Jung defined these as differentiation between different psychological functions - each type would have a compensating inferiority so none would be "advantageous".

MBTI commercialised the work so it's no wonder it flatters those who identify with a given type.

That being said, "for a ship without port, no wind is favourable." The rudimentary self knowledge you can gain from even MBTI is a step in developing one's own personality.

better than a kick in the teeth
