A Few Things You Should Keep In Mind When Studying Mbti

a few things you should keep in mind when studying mbti

cognition ≠ behavior

yes, our cognition affects our behavior, and if you believe in mbti, it surely affects our behavior too. with that said, you should keep in mind that we are complex human beings and it's impossible for us to act exactly like our type all the time.

which takes us to the next one

mbti is also about motivation

it's not just about your first reaction to stuff or your mental process when making a decision. it's also about your motivation with your actions. you did that thing. why? what were you trying to do when you did that? what were you thinking to do that? were you trying to find an effective solution to your problems? or maybe you were just trying to understand how that worked and why it worked like that?

write down your mental process

this one, seriously, do it before you understand the cognitive functions!! write down your thinking process when making a decision, write down every single thing you can think about your personality. it'll be useful. also if you have the patience to do so, write a very detailed journal about your thoughts for a couple days but those tips will work only if you have self knowledge.

be careful about the sources you're using

this is so important, I can't say it enough. it's pretty rare to find a trustable source to study mbti besides the books so if you're checking websites, be extra careful please.

I'd recommend you to check this website https://www.typeinmind.com/ it's the most trustable source I found

don't trust tests

yes, there are tests that can help you to have an idea about your mbti (16p is not included for god's sake) like sakinorva or the mistype investigator test, but the only way of being sure about your type is studying the functions and having enough self-knowledge.

“angry characters need to learn control” no, actually. let them be angry. let them lose their cool. let them take it out on the things around them. let that anger build inside of them until it has no choice but to be let loose or it’ll destroy them from the inside out. let them have such a visceral and intense outburst that it irrovocably changes the world in a way that can never be fixed. let them leave that mark on the world from nothing but their own rage. let them scar the world and let them feel it. let them be emotional. let them be raw. let them feel it and express it in the only way they know how. let them grow as a character, yes. let them thrive and develop and change. but for the love of god, let them be fucking angry. 

Yes. Just Yes.

adrien doesn’t see marinette as a sweet, innocent, porcelain little angel that needs to be protected. he thinks marinette is batshit. marinette is a force to be reckoned with. she’s the class president and the most popular girl in their class. she’ll insult him to his face. she’ll call him “baby”. she’ll scream and refuse to get in an elevator with him. she has his photos on her wall. she’s terrified of him. she singlehandedly took down kwamibuster and could probably singlehandedly take down hawkmoth if ladybug let her. she would’ve slaughtered lila if he hadn’t stopped her. she’ll call chat noir an idiot to his face. she’ll get in an argument with Gabriel Agreste and win. she’s the every day ladybug. she doesn’t know how to walk. he wants to tenderly hold her hand.

Look at all those sanzus, my followers owe me one
