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.
ENFJ: Treat spiders the way you want to be treated.
INFP: Killed without hesitation.
ENFJ: No
Are any of you guys an INTJ (Myers-Briggs) personality type?
How do y'all make new friends? I can't do it. 😩 ALL of my friends are extroverts because of course they are and it is kind of exhausting the older I get trying to keep up with them.
The woes of introversion. We want more introverted friends but we're all at home just sending each other psychic vibes and hoping the other is getting them. 😂
Coincidence or not?
Is it only me or most INFPs are Ravenclaw and have type 4w5 because honestly I’m confused since I’ve seen too many.
Hey INFPs!
Who's the most attractive MBTI type to you? Recently I've discovered that I've been always fascinated by ESTPs. I don't know why but something about them always attract me? Is it because we are too different or not, I'm not really sure. But I do like ENTPs too. So I am wondering who do you think your ideal match and give some opinions to this INFP friend.
please stop calling yourselves infj because you think thoughts sometimes.

RvB MBTI: Agent Washington
ISTJs don’t make many assumptions, preferring instead to analyze their surroundings, check their facts and arrive at practical courses of action. ISTJ personalities are no-nonsense, and when they’ve made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and take action.

RvB MBTI: Agent North
ESFJs are altruists, and they take seriously their responsibility to help and to do the right thing. People with the ESFJ personality type will base their moral compass on established traditions and laws, upholding authority and rules, rather than drawing their morality from philosophy or mysticism.

RvB MBTI: Agent York
People with the INTP personality type view the world as a big, complex machine, and recognize that as with any machine, all parts are interrelated. INTPs excel in analyzing these connections, seeing how seemingly unrelated factors tie in with each other in ways that bewilder most other personality types.

The way their eyes light up with every new idea. The way they pace excitedly around a room forming a plan. The communities they bring together seamlessly. The awareness that they bring to every thought. The devilish grin they get when trying to win your thoughts over. The piercing insights they unveil about mankind. The unexpected childishness within them. The unexpected wisdom that child can possess.
I'm the enfp-aries-slytherin combo, I bring a lot of things to the table especially chaos and entertainment (and neurodivergence probably)
It also means I like to lay on the floor in my room and never go out of my house (I also have a shitty attention span and friends who i forget exist)
So apparently the Myers-Briggs personality test is based on junk science and now I need something else to hyper fixate on.
