    Please tell me this megathread is a troll. Meyer's Briggs is total, unmitigated bullshit. It has no scientific validity. It should not be used as anything but an idle amusement like astrology and personality quizes on OkCupid. Jung was a quack who has caused immeasurable harm to the study of mental health. Science has spent nearly a century trying to undo the harm caused by Freud and Jung's fanciful and irresponsible quackery. I cannot state in strong enough terms that Meyers Briggs use as anything other than amusement is harmful.

      Completely agree, I think it is a joke, but not sure why it is posted in /c/science. Some might take it at face value, even though the "hyphenated" name jib makes clear it is poking fun at those liberal girl-boss discourse which doesn't account for feminism as more than just furthering bourgeoisie domination of society in which privileged women get a share instead of only men while the working class and especially the women and other marginalized in it are still getting the end of the stick since we are still living in capitalism.

        Jung was so much of a quack that Freud criticised his work for being too based on conjecture and anecdotes.

        Absolute state of twentieth century bullshit psychology.

      It's definitely a troll, because Meyers-Briggs was invented by two people whose surnames were Meyers and Briggs.
