- ci5er 11y agoI'm curious - why is that imported to be noted here? Is the extroversion axis description in the OCEAN trait set markedly different from that used in Myers-Briggs?
- Xcelerate 11y agoThat "debunking" is mostly one study by one (somewhat vengeful) researcher, and it keeps being referenced in an attempt to relegate MBTI into the same realm as astrology. Neither the MBTI nor the Big 5 has particularly high predictive capacity (not unlike most metrics in the field of psychology), although I would say both are very statistically significant with regard to certain types of predictions. For instance, I would guess that the vast majority of HN users are INTJ or INTP. If MBTI had no predictive capacity, the distribution of types would instead be uniform. (P.S. please express your disagreement using evidence and reason, not downvotes. Thanks.)
