Popular Post su**** Posted July 15 Popular Post Does anyone use MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) as a reference for sub/dom compatibility?
MasterAidan Posted July 15 I don’t know if it’s necessarily just for BDSM, but for all relationships in general, but it’s important not to solely base decisions about compatibility just on that - as often you might be surprised! But knowing someone else’s can also help you adapt to their needs too, and understand them more so it’s good information to have.
St**** Posted July 15 I wouldn't put any real stock in any personality test. Those results are only what a person perceives themselves as, or what they want to project.
Wr**** Posted July 15 A lot of people don’t know what it is so I usually go by astrological signs. No Cap… pun intended. For those unfamiliar with gen alpha lingo… That means “no lie” For me… “no Capricorns.”
Ar**** Posted July 15 The Myers-Briggs system has been thoroughly debunked and is demonstrably unreliable for use as anything more than a bit of fun. Considering as many as 76% of people receive a different personality type result when taking a retest after only five weeks, it may not represent safe practice to find a BDSM partner based on MBTI compatibility.
PL**** Posted July 16 I f u are considering using a personality test as an indicator of compatibility, check out the Big Five Personality Test (Ocean Model), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), or the HEXACO Personality Inventory. Each of these has been found to have high scientific reliability and validity. Also, each of these are preferred in clinical settings. I do not know where you could get the information to take these and score them, however, it might be worth the research and I would definitely be interested if used how it turns out!
Deleted Member Posted July 16 I use it as a bit of fun in general. It was originally devised because a mother wanted to prove that her daughter's partner was not a good fit! It's been proven to be inaccurate since, yet is used by HR teams around the world. It's hilarious!
Ta**** Posted July 16 Myers-Briggs is sooo debunked, like @Aranhis pointed out. If anyone mentions their Myers-Briggs or horoscope in their profile, I'm immediately out. So in a way, it works for me as a Referenzen

It works for be as a compatibilty test as I'm not compatible with anyone who gives me 4 random letters and then informs me in great length how intutitive/creative/blabla they are according to quack.
Wh**** Posted July 16 Well, I would say it has become almost more popular to hate on the MBTI than using it. I know all the criticism, but the thing is...the test doesn't have to be scientifically correct for it to work in one way or another... If you rely too much on it, it's probably bad, but at the very least it has often served me as a great convo opener... 😉
bo**** Posted July 17 Haha all these psych PhDs on here dissing MBTI. Did OP ask for your scientific evaluations? Anyway, I think it would be very cool to take a cohort of people who had taken the BDSM Test and give them Myers-Briggs to see if there are any interesting correlations. I don't know if it's ever been done. But I have definitely asked a sub if she knows her MBTI, enneagram, etc. It's just interesting.

Nobody here needs to diss MBTI nor to pretend to have a psych PhD (although side note I was top of my year in the subject, thank you for your assumption) to pass comment on its validity; an entire community of actual professionals has already done that, which is the point being made. 1 hour ago, boston52086 said: Did OP ask for your scientific evaluations? Do you know how forums work? If not I'm happy to explain them for you. A topic/OP is created, oft posing a question. Then people have a free and open discussion about it. Typically education is involved, and it's hoped that it both i) done without douchebaggery and ii) taken onboard so a community can learn and grow. What the OP asked was technically only a "yes/no" question, and if everybody only ever answered forum questions like that (yes or no) without explanation or discussion regarding their reasons topic threads would immediately feel incredulously dull - and nobody wants that. All that aside, without further information or context we don't even have any reason at this point to presume the OP is a supporter of MBTI themselves. Perhaps they themselves are a student of psychology, aware of the system's fallacies yet wishing to learn how many people in the community put stock in it. We have no way to know their motivations for asking, and reassurance that not everybody is taken in by it may be exactly what they were seeking. Refrain from civil discussion and laugh away if you like, but know that it is not a good look on anyone.
La**** Posted August 3 I’m INFJ. It’s scarily accurate in my case. I have asked others to try it as I find it interesting to see how accurate theirs is. I can see it as a useful tool
