I wish it had more explanation about how the model works. The same website also has a "Predict MBTI Personality from Text": https://gimmeserendipity.com/mbtimodel/text/

What's interesting about it is that normally learning someone's MBTI type requires their active involvement. They either have to fill in some type of survey or tell you their type. This would be fine, were it not that there are plenty of people who attach WAY too much importance to MBTI types.

Hmm, mine gave me very high coefficients for INTP (0.36) and INTP (0.18), which seems to line up with what I remember from when I've taken these sorts of tests. Except... my reddit is very sparse. From where did it draw these conclusions?

This tool highlighted my suspicions. It's very biased towards these results (I don't know if Myers-Briggs is also, which might be possible). For example, "lorem ipsum" scores INXX all above 0.13, with everything else below 0.08. Similar results for "youtube reddit" or "the quick brown fox".

I got ENTJ which matches my test from few years ago.

Yes, if the site does not explain this method then I have little reason to believe the prediction. It's no different to a Buzzfeed quiz.

Same here. Do they have a dataset of writings that are labeled with their respective author's MBTI category? I wonder how they managed to get that.
