X : Have you looked at Myers Briggs?
Me : Yep. Why?
X : Just the pioneer, settler ...
Me : I'll stop you there. Myers Briggs can be simplified into two types - those who use critical reasoning versus those who believe in Myers Briggs. It's a scam, a self perpetuating industry.

X : You don't like it?
Me : People have been denied opportunity based upon codswallop created by one notorious racist and a fascist which has been shown to have no scientific validity. I imagine the damage done must be in the tens if not hundreds of billions. No, I don't like it.

X : A bit like astrology?
Me : Absolutely not. Astrologists have the decency not to pretend that their beliefs are some scientific field. I don't share their beliefs but fair dues to them. The Myers Briggs crowd are charlatans, con artists and they give astrology a bad name.

X : I can tell by your reaction that you are ..
Me : ... someone who disagrees with this codswallop. Bizarrely, by trying to tell me my MBTI it actually informs me of your MBTI.
X : Which is?
Me : PLONKER.

X : You're quite fervent in your view.
Me : You mean I have a visceral reaction to things like flat earthers, creationists, climate denialists and Myers Briggs. Well, that's a fair cop.

X : In your pioneer, settler, town planner model, couldn't MBTI help in ...
Me : ... No. First, I do need to rename that awful model. Second, it is critical in the PST model that you allow people to choose what they are and then also allow them to change.

The PST model is based upon the idea that we need at least three different attitudes to managing the evolution of something and hence building any large complicated system ... there is wonderful NHS concept video on this - ...
... now, you need three different attitudes but an individual's attitude changes for enormous numbers of reasons. So, you have to allow people to choose their attitude and to change as much as they want and not try to pigeon hole people in some fascist inspired category theory.
X : But ...
Me : I've invented a set of questions that have determined you are a troglyte and I'm a city dweller. You go live in a mine and in a decade we can run a test to show how "city dwellers achieve more in art".
X : Eh?

X : Eh?
Me : Here, have a shovel.

Me : ... MBTI? Really? Ok, I'm JSGM
X : That's not a type.
Me : Jedi - Slytherin - Gnome - Mage.
X : Shouldn't that be Sith?
Me : Well, that's something we can discuss.
