I never said I thought that this test is scientifically proven. I said IF it's scientifically accurate.Spacelord said:A horoscope can do the same thing.Bobbovski said:Well if the test is scientifically accurate you can use the information about your personality to get to know yourself (and others who do the test) and give hints on what you can improve, what kind of jobs you might be best suited for and what kind of partner might suit you.Spacelord said:Dude knows how to kiss ass!
Moreover, there's the question of utility: what's it used for? To make people go 'oh yeah, that's me!'? In that case it's a pretty good test. Apart from that it's pretty much a waste of time and effort. Fun diversion though!
Ok enough time wasted back to studying for my psych finals :S
Also I think we might have profoundly different definitions of scientific accuracy.
I do believe types are biological and I'd like it if in-depth more research could be conducted on it, perhaps in neuroscience. It's very subtle, but when you go through all of the people you've met, you'll find some eerily similar temperaments. 16-type systems like these are just the most convenient way to describe the psychological differences between them.Bobbovski said:I never said I thought that this test is scientifically proven.

And yes I have realized that this test might work the same way as horoscopes; the results might be written in such a way that it could be applied to almost anybody.
