The thing that annoys me about Briggs tests is they're very either-or (it claims you can't be both thinking and feeling at the same time for example) and make a lot of assumptions (it makes the old unproven assumption that emotions aren't rational, a common mistake). Basically, they're unscientific.
Anyone who knows me knows I can be both obnoxiously empathetic and frustratingly analytical and practical at the same. Emotions aren't always separate from rationality and provide a very logical function, they decide how we act on information. There was once a study on rats where they suppressed the part of the mind that produces emotions and the rats lost all drive to even feed themselves (Poor rats). Emotions, in other words, make up every one of our drives. Even people who play the stoic are only suppressing certain emotions, they're still acting on a desire of self-preservation, and the feeling of wanting to be a certain way.
-Dirt_Owl (INFP-T) fucking shoot me now for taking the test pls.
Yeah exactly. "Emotion" and "logic" is intertwined, you can't really seperate them in living beings. That's why the test confuses me with the whole "is it better to act on logic or emotion" because that's not how it works lmao.
Also am INFP according to the test, it seems to be the common one on Hexbear

There are apparently two kinds of INFP (god why am I doing this?) And I got INFP-t, the "turbulent" kind apparently.
