I've already said this in Personality Nation, but I'll make a brand new post here... let's just take your Ne paragraph for example, to prove how your test is NOT perfect, and therefore it can't be used to validate anybody's type.
Additionally, corroboration about the type is an
essential step into anybody's type, and the result of a test should not overshadow somebody's reasoning. This is even made for MBTI.
To who? The quality of something or someone being 'interesting' falls on the eye of the judger, and it's not like labeling something 'red', 'double the size', etc. As an example, just some minutes ago, @
WorkaholicsAnon and I were having an 'interesting' talk about endocrine disruption, while everybody else got bored stop talking until she left... 'Interesting' is not a label that can be used to describe someone objectively.
Additionally, isn't everything 'unusual' at some point? If I don't know you, ANYTHING you do is new to me, so in a way you are unusual. While some people may label me unusual because of my jokes and responses, I've had close acquaintances accuse me of being predictable because of their experiences with me.
And new experiences, again, to who? What about someone with a more :Te: approach who is just VERY knowledgeable and has insight to many different perspectives because everything he has read? 'New' is not objective either.
Ok I agree with this one. I wouldn't use the word 'never', because that is too absolute and it describes :Ne:-base people as always being flaky and unreliable, when other circumstances might make a IxE to stay with a project, but I get the idea.
What if the reason why something is interesting is because it has the potential of how many different ways it can be used for? Like finding a swiss knife and realizing how much you can do with it? Again... very bad choosing of words to describe a motivation.
I talked about this in PerN. Let me quote myself:
Ok... so we have the obvious about me being a :Ne: base person... so let's judge a function that I DON'T use. Let's talk about Ni, which is the following paragraph:
Ehhhhh ok...
Very well according to what and who? According to all other types? That is sort of ridiculous. I know of several :Ni: people who create extremely bad theories in their heads, and it is easy to tell they didn't really think things through. There was a guy in PerN/PerC, Revan, who would do this. Extreme crackpot, who was very easy to accuse of being COMPLETELY wrong in an instance because of a lack of a stronger intuitive leap.
Ok, I dont disagree here.
Ah ay... I do have a bit of an issue here. Some Ni people can be sort of quite pushy at the events, and start accusing people of 'lacking the intuitive intellect to reach their understanding'. It's actually quite annoying, because sometimes you ARE proving them wrong, but they are so neglectful of their surroundings, that they choose to dismiss the evidence because it doesn't fit into their perception of life.
I'm not saying this paragraph is wrong... but ehhh wording is an issue.
I don't have as much of an issue with the :Ni: paragraph, but again, this might be because it's a function that is completely alien to me and I'm just not that familiar to pick it apart as accurately as I did with :Ne:.
My biggest point is that, until your test is PERFECT (which is not), then you can't use this to type people absolutely without hearing their input, just like you did with @
lungs.
