Poor science? I'm INTJ. A lot of personality typing was created with arbitrary categories that made sense to their creators, and then science used to see how people fell into these categories. The enneagram system is another one created by people without a deep understanding of statistics. Such systems are useful, but don't express the actual fundamental personality grouping and differences very well. I think the only personality typing system that used multivariate analysis to determine groupings of personality traits scientifically, and only then figure out what those groups mean, is the OCEAN/CANOE system otherwise known as Big 5. Along OCEAN I am: Openness to experience: very high Conscientiousness: high Extraversion: lowish Agreeableness: neutral (higher when I was younger, and dropping) Neuroticism: neutral (higher when I was younger, and dropping)
ENFJ When I did this with a large group the result was a scale of ~1 to 10 for each letter. Meaning in the middle was even keel. My result was ENFJ but the numbers were neutral for all but the J. J was maxed out. I am extremely judgemental.... at least I know it. Something like E5 N5 F5 J10. That's why your types can flip between I and E, or T and F, etc. I have not seen an online test that shows the scale in the result. Anyone seen one that does this?
