My theory of personality types

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

The proposal is almost finished. Will be submitting it to DC Public Schools research division this month. We are trying to get it approved to be field tested at universities.

Going on Myers Briggs forums and Typology Central really paid off. It's amazing how you can put something on the Internet and within a few years it snowballs and takes off and becomes this huge thing. People aren't posting their scores as much as they could be but people are definitely look at the site.

Got UDC a local university involved

Was introduced to a grad school dean there by an office counselor

Also got a group home supervisor to help with the validity testing plan.

Got Montgomery county schools system involved as well as Dr Ballard a psychologist from a local clinic to help shape the test

So, what actually happens after you 'pigeon hole' people into very particular and specific 'types'?

Well the Myers Briggs does that too

I don’t see anyone complaining about that system

It’s a solid accurate tool for diagnosing Personality disorders

Even if it labels people it’s not all negative labels

It spins some of these disorders in a positive way

So, after you 'give' "others" personality disorders then what actually happens?

If you catch diagnose these disorders at an early enough stage in life it makes adulthood much easier the process of transitioning into the real world/ adulthood / coping with real life will be much smoother

You know there’s this idea that if you pinpoint / identify troublemakers early on In their development it makes it easier on society later on as far as how to handle treat them

The words 'real life's being used, again, to 'try to' "justify" one's behaviours.

Also, what 'personality disorder' do you have? Or, do you not have ANY 'personality disorders'?

My Myers Briggs type is entp

They are intuitive and charming and good debaters

Good at setting positions up in their favor / anticipating outcomes

They say entps are the only Myers type with no real personality because they Just constantly wear masks

But I think it’s just not being as in touch with their emotions as others

They wear masks and play pretend longer than other outgoing extrovert types

They are mellow calm extroverts. That’s the best way to put it.

Some things we wish were true:

1) Psychology
2) Psychology
3) Psychology

n) Psychology

Jokes aside, a commendable effort by the OP - his/her classification is, well, neat & clean in a manner of speaking. That's good, right?

Speaking for myself, I like the older one which is, of course, too obvious to mention!

It could be argued that this wanting to look at and see "others" as being less than, or with some 'personality disorder' is a 'condition', itself.

When it is learned and understood why all people are the way they are, then this this name calling, or labelling, and judging ceases.

I was telling someone a friend last year that you are either a Barney Stinson or a Ted mosby but you can’t be both

As far as the types of men there are

And there really is a fine line between the two even though over time Ted slowly takes on a lot of Barney Stinson traits because he rubs off on him after years of hanging out with him

But it’s still a fine line between the two and at some point in time you really have to figure out which one you are
