> you are supposed to understand that a person that scored 49% introvert in the introvert-extrovert spectrum is going to be far similar to a person that scored extrovert with 51% than to a person that scored introvert 10% because its a spectrum not an absolute value.
This doesn't fit well with my mental model of how Myers Briggs works (regardless of the veracity of Myers Briggs).
As I understand it: Myers Briggs maps to the Jungian cognitive functions[0] and the side that you fall on the J/P dichotomy will invert these.
An INTJ would be: Introverted Intuition, Extraverted Thinking, Introverted Feeling, Extraverted Sensing
An INTP would be: Introverted Thinking, Extraverted Intuition, Introverted Sensing, Extraverted Feeling
Getting near the 50% mark on the J/P aspect appears to show low confidence in any part of the model

- pseudalopex 5y agoMyers and Briggs were inspired by Jung. And some enthusiasts insist on interpreting it how you do. But basically every test treats the axes as continuous.
