I can't stand slatestarcodex or lesswrong. They're not INTP but try really hard to be.

And MBPI--because it's based on field observations in the 1910's--is the least politically correct typology.

Can you explain why you brought MBTI into this (it has nothing to do directly with the linked essay)?
1. My original comment was that the linked website is trying too hard to be INTP. I mentioned INTP because it has a very specific stereotype and no other word in the English language covers.

2. But because this is HN, SOMEONE is going to say that MB is pseudoscience.

3. So I needed to premptively respond to the would-be smart alec.

What's "INTP"?
