People are judging each other left, right and centre on much more biased criteria every day whether you like it or not.
Don't have an instrument to judge someone with? They'll judge you based on their preconceptions, their life experience, and a number of other factors that are quite likely more unsound than an external instrument.
People are going to judge you anyway, buddy. Just hope the guy calling the shots isn't an arsehole and has your best interests in mind. Which leads me to believe that your problem isn't with the MBTI itself but the human tendency to judge one another on any basis of criteria. That's life.
Those looking to apply MBTI for any particular reason to any particular person (including themselves) isn't any worse or wrong or ill-meaning than the next fellow. It just depends on whether they're an arsehole or not. Please, don't confuse the two.
- river_styx 18y agoThe problem here is that these assessments make people think that they have a strong scientific basis for making those judgments. Obviously people always judge each other, but they will feel far more validated in doing so if there's a team of guys in lab coats behind them.
