My wife has psychosis and Gpt5 consistently is a voice of reason and grounds her. She shows me her GPT chats to get me caught up and its so nice to have something that can patiently listen to her when she repeats herself a lot. In the meant

It's good questions. Here's why this axis is the right one in my opinion: 1) As I mentioned, it has a lot of statistically significant correlations, including to all the variables of the Big 5. Example: Surveys show that % of the

Big 5 correlates to MBTI very closely in any case. With the exception of neuroticism.

Its kind of a common thing to say Myers-Briggs typing is useless because its pseudo-science. I dont think this is supported by the data in the way people think. For one, many studies of identical twins raised in separate households show the

N types are over represented in every profession that requires a college degree. Thinkers are more likely to be into programming than Feelers. So that makes sense, along with INTP and ENTP being over represented.

For sure. I was super skeptical at first and the more I dug in the more compelled I became. I actually made my own conversational version of the test and ask people if they want to be typed - its fascinating, I have helped type 50+ people.

Absolutely agreed, I find MBTI as a mental model much more predictive than my prior mental models. But its not magic.

This is accurate for three reasons: 1) MBTI cannot be used adversarially - if people know certain types are preferred, they will answer to the test. 2) MBTI is strictly worse than Big 5 in study design since it doesnt have continuous variab

Funnily enough you can see how much N types prefer abstract categorization systems like Myers-Briggs very clearly on reddit. The N subreddits (like /r/entp) have 10x the subs of their s counterparts (like "estp"), even

Though they were developed via theory, they strongly correlate to Big 5. Big 5 (or OCEAN) was produced by a data driven process. So I dont think that argument against it is credible, if anything it lends credence to the theory.

My take: Myers-Briggs is a useful tool with evidence behind it

I know a company that replaced their sales call center with an AI calling bot instead. The bot got better sales and higher feedback scores from customers.

I think for most people its just whatever you are used to. That said I can't stand iPhone. My wife also switched to Android after being jealous of some features on my phone.

Who is making the directory? Is it public like Wikipedia? How do you decide which businesses are notable enough? Is it the government? Of which country? Can anyone submit without approval? It would get spammed to ruin. Etc etc.
