Boy I boy did I disturb the bees nest over on the ENFP subreddit. I’m always curious about how people rationalize adapting new, seemingly random rule sets to MBTI which are totally inaccurate.

The amount of folks that were incredibly offended when I explained MBTIs actual basis and way to use it was insane. Even when approaching the topic with an open discussion, still I found many are so solidified in total fallacies regarding MBTI to the point of hostility. So many think we get to “pick” our typing, or straight-up weighing MBTI the same as astrology.

I know the NFPs sometimes like to make grandiose schemes of possibilities, but MBTI really isn’t the place for that line of thinking. Just because it’s a theory, doesn’t make it any more comparable to Buzzfeed personality questionnaires.

Please, don’t insult the science behind the theory by squandering the research. This isn’t a theory where you can pick where you fit into because that typing sounds the best. Do the work. Do the research. I don’t see that often on this subreddit, but felt the need to bring the conclusions I received back over here. That is all, rant over
