Weeeeell it’s not really putting them into a box. It’s more just that any person will fit into one of six categories based on the different cognitive functions. The letters don’t really matter, it’s the functions. For example as an ENFJ I have… Fe, Ni, Se, and Ti. That’s Extraverted Feeling, Introverted Intuition, Extraverted Sensing, and Introverted Thinking. Introversion and Extraversion have nothing to do with “social” or “unsocial”…They’re simply how the mind works and functions for each person. There are extraverted people who are hermits and introverted people who throw crazy parties. For example, Introverted Feeling (Fi) and Extroverted Feeling (Fe). A person with dominant Fi will be very well in tune to their own feelings, but not very good at reading others. A person with dominant Fe will be very empathetic and can practically absorb other people’s emotions; that’s me. The letters in your personality don’t matter as much as the functions behind them because they all work together and compliment each other to form your personality. Fe, Fi, Se, Si, Te, Ti, Ne, Ni. Eight functions, and everyone has a combination of them in dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior forms. The Myers-Briggs system wasn’t built to make anything new; it was built by analyzing already existing people and categorizing them, like taxonomy.

It really is a very involved subject….There are people that know a LOT more about it than me. Like a lot. Buuut it’s legit, it’s definitely legit. And no I don’t usually rant about stuff like this XD XD I’ve just been looking at MBTI a whole lot lately. It’s quite interesting once you get down to the nitty gritty stuff beyond the personality tests. 😀
