If you identify with a description and then try to operate like the description, you got issues.

Do you guys sometimes feel like these personality tests and such kinda put you in a box? 

Like if you believe you are INTP or whatever (someone introvorted) that you can't excel in something like social skills?

I don’t feel this way mainly because I just don’t feel as attached to the type as much as I present.

It is just helpful, sometimes.

I don’t actually believe in most of its capability, what it says about friends or relationship matches, etc. It is kind of meme like—but helpful on a basic level.

In reality, it’d be impossible to call me an ENFP—even the test has shows I’m around 50% for the E F & P. I’ve had INTP, ENTP, INFP & INFJ all be results before (I’ve taken it for classes, fun, etc. over 10 years).

+ different personality tests just conflict or layer odd. I’d be an ENFP 5w4, for example. A very social personality to be so reserved and investigating.

The Big 5 is a better personality model. It allows for change over time and is continuous rather than discrete. But it’s less popular for that same reason. Humans like discrete categories.

Cognitive functions are cool too, and I think quite a valuable model for understanding types of thought and perception. But mapping them to MBTI types is… questionable
