Personality tests and Astrology are BS.. (as well as the Enneagram, Tarot, and the rest of them)

Описание: Whether it be the Meyers-Briggs (MBTI), throwing bones, Tarot or palm readings, or astrology, humans have been desperately trying to figure out who we are since we first realized we were different from one another. And there is no evidence any of them are accurate or useful for the individual, beyond what we decide to believe.

I am not saying there is no value at all in these tests, but rather we should be cautious not to let a chart or someone else's idea of who we are cloud our potential or hold us back from changing, should the need arise.

BUT.... I must mention there are some indicators that can help us.
If anything is close to useful, it would be the 'BIG 5' which many academics and researchers believe determine a lot about us.
These traits are:

Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism

They are described as:

Openness - People who like to learn new things and enjoy new experiences usually score high in openness. Openness includes traits like being insightful and imaginative and having a wide variety of interests.

Conscientiousness - People that have a high degree of conscientiousness are reliable and prompt. Traits include being organized, methodic, and thorough.

Extraversion - Extraverts get their energy from interacting with others, while introverts get their energy from within themselves. Extraversion includes the traits of energetic, talkative, and assertive.

Agreeableness - These individuals are friendly, cooperative, and compassionate. People with low agreeableness may be more distant. Traits include being kind, affectionate, and sympathetic.

Neuroticism - Neuroticism is also sometimes called Emotional Stability. This dimension relates to one’s emotional stability and degree of negative emotions. People that score high on neuroticism often experience emotional instability and negative emotions. Traits include being moody and tense.

----
So yes, these can define some things about us.
However, these are 'traits' and not 'types' There is a big difference.

-----------------------

I think we all share a variety of traits to one degree or another, and indeed we have tendencies to fit into categories.

This means that seeing who we are at the MOMENT does not reflect who we will be in week, a year, or a decade.
Or three. But learning a bit about ourselves can be useful, so long as we are not using our 'charts' as an excuse to be a stubborn jerk (Scorpios take note!) :D


Personally I believe there is more power in deciding who we want to be than reading what we fit into.

Let me know what you all think.

Be well my friends.
