I just finished it and it has absolutely blown my mind. Ive read about 50 pages of information on my personality type from literally dozens of websites and its so accurate it scares the hell out of me. It is literally my thoughts and actions detailed to the core. You know, we all think we are individual and unique. Nope. This thing was my biography and 2% of the world is exactly like me. That 2% includes Putin and Hitler... and Trump/Hillary Clinton. Yay, I seem likeable huh? They werent all bad though, M Thatcher, Winston Churchill and FDR were also on the list. http://www.entjpersonality.info/p/famous-entjs.html Anyways, I thought I would share if you have not ever done this, I would highly recommend it. Here is a link to the test: https://www.16personalities.com/ The Myers-Briggs test is neither scientific nor reliable. I'm surprised @iPwn didn't beat me to this post.

Claiming that the process is disqualified because the individuals that came up with it are not qualified by academia standards is retarded and short sighted.

FinneasGage Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I don't care if that personality test has any legit validity or w/e, & it's weird to me when anybody classifies or identifies themselves as ANYTHING.. just do your thing.. crazy to me. Don't know why I'm even typing this now lol. Oh yeah when I hit reply I was gonna talk about how that dude on Adams Ruins Everything is like the exact opposite of the kinda guy I'd grab some brews and chill with. I don't know why I have unreasonable contempt for a fellow just doing his thing and making money by doing his TV job.. Something about him just reminds me of the kinda college kids I'm surrounded by on a daily basis. Why I hit reply to say that I don't really know either, but seemed reaaaly important to me a minute ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBillsFan13 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 LOL Brian Cushing... How many times do you get to say "Hey I'm really sorry to the fans and the organization for doing something I know I'm not supposed to do, multiple times now, and I fully accept my punishment" before the fans stop believing that you're really sorry? I mean, just be honest about it... "I know I might cost my team some wins by not being on the field, but damnit these PEDs sure are great, and I'll be doing them until I feel like stopping, regardless of the rules." At this point it's like Jon Jones saying he's back, and clean, and doing everything he can to repair his image... Just retire already. Spoiler alert, YOU WILL GET CAUGHT AGAIN, dumbass.

Yeah, but he's just going to tell you why all your opinions on a subject are misguided, and the result of something other than the actual thing you're talking about.

I will say this though - prior to taking that test I thought psychology as a whole was bunk. Hell, I once read that couples that go to marriage counseling have a 60% chances of divorce. Thats worse than not going at all. So, now that you know my stance, I will say that for me personally the test was balls on accurate. Maybe its bunk and I am an exception. Thats obviously not to say it applies to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
