Although it is fun to try to categorize ourselves into 16 personality types, what these categories really describe are behavior, which is dependent on way more than personality traits alone (e.g., what about context? What about reinforcement contingencies?). I'm not trying to be a hater, I just want people to take the test and read the questions with a critical eye. Behavioral science has come a long way scince this test was published over 60 years ago. Your personality type does not define you and does not determine how you behave in real world situations.
