All that is to say that personality isn’t as fluid as some would think and it’s important some time to make distinctions

To just acknowledge differences and make distinctions

It doesn’t work as well with “friends “

Ross and chandler comparisons

Because Ross is almost cartoonish in how goofy and awkward and weird he’s portrayed and chandler is just Barney Stinson on mute. He’s sarcastic and charming just like Barney and rarely takes anything seriously like Barney. Ross is a very thinly sculpted character by comparison

There are Myers Briggs types that line up with Asperger’s

It’s not really that different from this thing once you get past how more types and less generalized it is

Diagnosing autism is just one thing it’s for it deals with other less severe disorders and tries to frame them in a more positive way

Like narcissism / borderline

Dr Ballard the psychologist who worked with me made a point agreeing with you that the Myers does not specialize in diagnosing personality disorders. My test is similar enough that It’s not really that different so the mb could be used in that way.

You know even before udc there was Wilfred Johnson this retired Howard professor who brought to my attention how important it is to have a threshold score so the test does what it’s supposed to do. Some sort of scale for measuring the test scores. I was in the dark more before meeting him but this threshold score idea he turned me onto was like a real scientific foundation I needed so it wasn’t just Jung mysticism and fantasy. Something more so people would take it more seriously
