I find that the type listed on many people's profile is incredibly unlikely for them. I've been studying Myers-Briggs and cognitive functions for nine years, and neuropsychology for four years. The amount of crossover between personality, genetics, microbiome, and childhood trauma which can all be correlated is fascinating. It gets to the point where you can observe a few things about somebody's body language and have uncanny insights into who they are within a short time from first meeting someone, especially if you have come to know their archetype before specifically. Do you even believe in Myers-Briggs or are you on Boo for other reasons? For, MBTI geeks like me, how much do you agree with the assessments and analysis done by Boo? What do you feel that they do particularly right versus particularly wrong? And, what is your favorite book in the wide area of personality typology to neuropsychology? How confident are you that you have the correct type listed on your profile?

I dabbled in personality typology well before I joined Boo. I find Boo’s testing to be more on the shallow side but it did correctly type me as ISTP before I went on to take the official MBTI assessment and get the same result lol I do think the ISTP descriptions describe me pretty well, but I’m highly doubtful of the compatibility suggestions lol

I've always tested in between INFP and INTP and in that regard it's largely accurate, for pseudoscience that I'm never going to take very seriously. 🤷‍♂️

I didn’t take the Boo personality test, I selected the result based on the description and the understanding of myself. I’m sure there was conflict with my decision because I’m not entirely a huge fan of the personality tests. Not to say that they are not accurate but as you suggested, there can a multiplicity of confounding variables that don’t necessary relate to one’s personality but more along with one’s experiences, impressions and even something as mutable as someone’s mood. I did select the middle option of 75-89%. I rather err on the side of the 11% over the 10 if my selection was not entirely true. However; I do find some value in it because I did recently take a personality test after making my profile and got the same result that I selected for the profile here. I tend to select more “middle range” answers than the extremes but I also like to avoid the neutral answer. Both neutral and extremes are reserved for things I truly feel or don’t feel anything in regards to. Hope you may find something within this that you can deem valuable to your inquiry and I didn’t just waste your time with a bunch of hubbub 😁

These personality tests on websites are a good general indicator but not robust without verifying the cognitive functions. A lot of INFJ's mistype as INTJ's because the INFJ may have a supercharged Ti Child as a youth and Fe Parent wasn't developed enough to the point where they see themselves as an intellectual instead of an ethical leader. So, as long as i don't know that the profile person has spend at least some dozen hours in typology, i will take the test result they have from Boo with a grain of salt.

Neuro science of guilt and emotional health.

There is no shame in asking for forgiveness; shame is the mask we wear when we silence what aches inside us. To say ‘I’m sorry’ is often an escape hatch — a way to dust off the guilt without ever touching its substance. But regret does not bloom from emptiness. Regret is the shadow cast by guilt,...
