I agree with your response, @abigail-dantes; the Meyers-briggs is quite an impressive product to have been created by laymen housewives vs clinicians. When I consider the differences, the psychometrics are certainly deterrent to selection of evidence-based practice. I also think the absence of the neuroticism component is significant for getting a full picture of personality, but maybe those agreeable ladies were hoping to avoid the conflict of bringing awareness to a dimension with negative connotation ;*
I also think a point that is not expressed often under the umbrella of personality is it's dynamic quality. You alluded to it when you invited us to discuss where we'd like to improve; any assessment will only provide a snapshot of our behaviors and well-being. The beauty is that it's all the sum of our personally-chosen responses and intrepretations within our lives that we can change at any time. Habit formation ain't easy, but it is simple--practice is everything.
High quality and accessible content, thanks for sharing!
This is a truly wonderful comment @thedreamsteem. Thank you for sharing your views of the MBTI here with us. I enjoyed reading your perspective on it very much, and couldn't help giggling about the 'agreeable ladies' ! :D
It would be interesting to write a post on the observations you made on your second paragraph! Only this morning I was talking to my husband about habit formation :)
Thank you for the kind, encouraging words!
All the best.
