HW 54

My result for the Myers Briggs test is INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Emotional face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. And i got it twice. INFP stands for Introverted, Intuitive, Feelings, and Perceiving and I guess I am. The test is structured to be as accurate as possible. Most of the questions ask if you’re one or the other, then they have one question that verifies this. With this test, it is more of how you see yourself. You are either A or B, there is no other. So this test forces you to think about yourself, and sometimes you see yourself differently, in which case, the test wouldn't be as effective.

According to my class, this test is accurate when categorizing someone. The guesses that were made in the classroom were mostly correct, and many people believe that the test does indeed depict what kind of person you are. But the test only tells you how you act sometimes. Does the test work on people who are mentally unstable? This test might be accurate towards people without mental issues but it leaves the people who are out. So the accuracy of this test only works on people who are mentally stable, but how do you know if the people you are familiar with are mentally healthy?
