Yup. Its like our version of Whatsapp in the UK. They even got other features that us in the west don't have, like access to pay accounts (Line pay) and even a lot of different delivery systems, payment systems, government websites and services ect ect.

Nice, I'll give it a try (especially when I go back to Japan to see Kyoto and Osaka >_>). I mostly use Whatsapp with my friends

Asherlee, test me yourself. Do you know a quiz site?

I dont see too many guys taking merit in that personality test either.

I don't anymore, but even just like 5 years ago I feel like people were a lot more into MBTI specifically as some really good personality test or whatever. I'm just sorta remarking on the humour that a lot of the people who seemed the most into it are the people who are most against astrology for being "made up bullshit" or whatever. When this is more or less the same thing but attached to a bunch of scientific sounding terminology

Myers-Briggs is not well-regarded at all scientifically. Granted, the topic of personality in psychology is a lot of unknowns (a lot of it is based on how you define things), but still.

If someone rejects you purely because of a personality test, they're probably saving you a lot of time and trouble down the road. They're just not worth the effort.

MBTI is not considered a valid personality test. And stuff like OCEAN (Big 5, whatever you want to call it) is pretty well regarded. It's just OCEAN is boring because it's a good test. You don't get a type with cool stories, instead you get told how you compare to population means on five dimensions. So the sad truth is valid tests aren't popular for the exact reasons they are valid. No one wants to do boring math, they want a label and a story.

Tell her how you feel.

Expect resistance. And rejection.

I'm sorry, but this is how it is.

Flirt.Hard.

The ladies like enthusiasm.

She will probably not reciprocate it now.

But she will remember.

Oh yeah, I know. I studied psych (though not personality specifically) and MBTI is basically the equivalent of Freudian psychoanalytics in personality:

The test relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[5] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring supposedly dichotomous categories that are not actually independent, and not being comprehensive.[6][7][8][9] Most of the research supporting the MBTI's validity has been produced by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, an organization run by the MyersBriggs Foundation, and published in the center's own journal, the Journal of Psychological Type (JPT), raising questions of independence, bias and conflict of interest.[10]

Astrology and personality tests are just different flavors of racism.

That said, I'm a Scorpio INFP.

The fact that she probably lost interest in me because of the test actually supports that lol.

That is so Virgo of her tbh

The MBTI test has merit. It helps in identifying groups X would appeal to, how certain groups learn, and how they think. For instance, this board, and an imageboard I'm on, these types of communication styles attract more introverts than extroverts. Heck, think about the beginning of the lockdowns where the people who had no trouble staying at home were generally all introverts. In contrast,

On a finance board I'm on, the ones who do the best, getting in early on the big projects, are people who think intuitively; as in they apply a set of principles to deduce "what is possible?" as opposed to a lot of sensory folks who come to their conclusions around "what was the precedent?" and forming their deductions on "what is possible?" as a result. To give a direct example, early investors in Bitcoin and Ethereum would be situated in the former bracket since those technologies were unprecedented.

Then it also comes into play for how you accept information and believe it. For instance, for Epstein's Island, what would it take for you to believe that story? There were a number of folks out there who heard of the story and thought it was BS until it made national headlines. There's nuance in how people accept information.

Mind you, I'm not saying that if you are on this board "you must be this". There are always exceptions to the rule, but there are general trends you can catch.

Same personality i've been getting for the last 30 years or so. (Turbulent is new however)
