    Nothing is inherently "better", just different.

I'm not saying that ISTJ is better than ENFP or anything like that. It's that I noticed that I associated their behaviour with my perception of their personality. Fitting to the curve.

    That's the whole point.

No, you're also trying to predict the future behaviour of others with a system that at best might give you a slightly better perspective of yourself.

    The tests are there to give you an idea of where you fall, not to determine your type. Which is why most of them provide percentages and probabilities.

Here's my result. I made the test honestly, swear to god, but apparently my place is dead center.

Your Cognitive Functions:

Extroverted Intuition (Ne) 9.15

Introverted Intuition (Ni) 5.925

Extroverted Feeling (Fe) 5.38

Introverted Feeling (Fi) 4.85

Extroverted Sensation (Se) 4.48

Introverted Sensation (Si) 4.24

Introverted Thinking (Ti) 4.15

Extroverted Thinking (Te) 3.62

Your Extroverted Intuition (Ne) is very developed.

Your Introverted Intuition (Ni) is moderate.

Your Extroverted Sensation (Se) is moderate.

Your Introverted Sensation (Si) is moderate.

Your Introverted Thinking (Ti) is moderate.

Your Extroverted Thinking (Te) is moderate.

Your Extroverted Feeling (Fe) is moderate.

Your Introverted Feeling (Fi) is moderate.

Now, what does that tell about me? I'd love to know. Maybe I should become moderator.

    I don't see it that way.

Any reason why? I haven't heard a good counterargument to what I said there.

    Yet, I find some extraverted people (not all, and definitely not most) seem to just make me "click" and I can easily be myself and converse. Up until now, I had no clue why that would be the case.

And it isn't possible that some people can just cooperate well with introverts?

    Facebook-questionaires really have nothing to do with categorizing based on personality.
It was a blunt example to get my point across. Maybe a better comparison: every time you say "as an [MBTI category]", it sounds to me like "as a Capricorn / Leo / Virgo / etc". This part of a Penn & Teller episode on astrology reminds me of your MBTI categorization. Yes, MBTI is technically science and not made up but your reaction to the categorization is the same.

    It's scarily accurate.

So are some horoscopes.
