After a couple of Myers-Briggs tests I wound up on a web forum for self-identified INTJs. It was the smuggest, most insufferable place I’d ever seen, to the point that I gave different answers next time to nudge me into another category.
As one who both tested as and very much sees the description of the INTJ in themselves, can confirm as being an obnoxiously over-analytical fool.
In some ways if you take them in a certain light the M/B, astrology, and even tarot cards play a similar role. They provide a thought prompt to explore from.
I’d actually say tarot is the best for that as it’s supposed to change every time
I'm the fool every time.
I always wondered how this scale matches up with nerodivergent communities and even brain injuries etc. It's obviously a bit like a horoscope, but still fun to see.
At the very minimum, at least it's based on something tangible about you as a person over horoscopes. Don't get me wrong, it's still dumb and effectively useless but it could be worse
INTJ is the "Libertarian Left" of quack psychology; the test is set up to put people in that category so they feel special, and annoying people with no personality fall for it every single time because it's the closest thing they will ever have to an identity outside "video games" and "weed"
Same thing happened too me lol. Other than the retaking it part. It was kind of useful in the sense that it made me think about if I was acting that way and to make an effort not to do so.
