Big Five? I'm RLUEIENFP but disclaimer i find this to be a pseudoscience and wholly inaccurate at measuring personality dimensions. OCEAN better captures people, i feel.
That's probably true but when I took it I scored very low on all the OCEA metrics and the maximum in Neuroticism so if it's accurate then I'm fucked.ENFP but disclaimer i find this to be a pseudoscience and wholly inaccurate at measuring personality dimensions. OCEAN better captures people, i feel.
This has been repeated so often that it's almost a cliché at this point. At the end of the day, all personality typing systems have the same flaw: they're artificially constructed categorizations based on self-reported data.ENFP but disclaimer i find this to be a pseudoscience and wholly inaccurate at measuring personality dimensions.

I think for both MBTI and OCEAN, Human Resources departments like to use them both because they're fairly useful for categorizing employees at least. I took the OCEAN for my HR class after all.This has been repeated so often that it's almost a cliché at this point.

OCEAN is also "pseudoscientific" in that sense; who's to say that the right way to boil down someone's character is to measure openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism? What do these terms even mean? What questions could you ask to accurately assess them? Not to mention that there are hundreds of other terms that could've been chosen, those precise five are somewhat arbitrary. People will also get different results everytime they take a Big Five test, because that's just the nature of asking people questions about themselves.
None of that means that it can't be a useful tool. OCEAN tends to be good for population-level studies and has the advantage of placing people on a spectrum, instead of into discrete boxes, just like how MBTI tends to be good for understanding how people make decisions, and the Enneagram tends to be good for understanding what motivates people. The question isn't whether one system is "better" or "more scientific," it's "Which screwdriver do I need for this screw?"
Yeah, I actually think it's unfortunate how typing systems have come to be used by HR departments for hiring purposes, because then they're being used for predictive purposes in what I would say is a discriminatory fashion. Divination is not, in fact, one of the legitimate uses of any personality typing system.I think for both MBTI and OCEAN, Human Resources departments like to use them both because they're fairly useful for categorizing employees at least.

INFJs (along with INFPs) are the most likeable personality type so it doesn't suprise me that many would claim that one for themselves.INFJ which is apparently the rarest one, but I always see a bajillion people online claiming to be this one so it doesn't seem like it's actually rare.
lol I've never heard that and I don't think it makes me likable.INFJs (along with INFPs) are the most likeable personality type so it doesn't suprise me that many would claim that one for themselves.
The (test-retest) reliability of the MBTI is low, so it's not surprising that you get a different result when retesting. I agree that your INFP result isn't the reason why you're likeable.I'm told this is strictly not possible, but I was always INTJ growing up through my mid-20s and have been INFP since then.
lol I've never heard that and I don't think it makes me likable.
I've always had an interest in personality tests and the like. I'm saying when I was in middle school, high school several times, undergrad several times, and the beginning of law school, I'd always get INTJ. I changed a good bit from my early-mid 20's to present (I think for the better) and I will now almost always get INFP, and if I get something else it's never INTJ.The (test-retest) reliability of the MBTI is low, so it's not surprising that you get a different result when retesting.
Thank you for the generous syntax lol.I agree that your INFP result isn't the reason why you're likeable.
I'm INFP and very unlikable.INFJs (along with INFPs) are the most likeable personality type so it doesn't suprise me that many would claim that one for themselves.
people like mediatorsI'm INFP and very unlikable.
Really? I thought the impression most have is that we're too emotional and overthink things. It's the most emotionally driven/least logical out of all the types, isn't it?INFJs (along with INFPs) are the most likeable personality type so it doesn't suprise me that many would claim that one for themselves.
Well, I guess it's somewhat subjective. I'm INTP and I like people who are more intuitive and sense-driven, without being annoying extroverts; I feel like I can connect with them the best.Really?
