Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
Hey, I dunno how much the topic of MBPT interests you guys, but for those who are interested, what do you think of the typing of these characters:
Paul: INTJ
Leto II: ENTJ
Scytale: INFJ
Most Bene Gesserit: ISTP
Most Reverend Mothers: ESTP
Alia: ENTP
If I am off, its due to my knowledge of the MBPT, which is a new topic to me.
Paul: INTJ
Leto II: ENTJ
Scytale: INFJ
Most Bene Gesserit: ISTP
Most Reverend Mothers: ESTP
Alia: ENTP
If I am off, its due to my knowledge of the MBPT, which is a new topic to me.

Cheers for your post, but I'm far too lazy and full of abscesses and painkillers to be bothered.

Man, I want some painkillers.
Maybe if you could tell us what the different types of personalities are it would make it easier for us to choose.

Re: Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
It's interesting only in that it might help someone connect with one character over another. I think part of the point of Dune is to not fit yourself into any "type". We must be flexible enough to evolve should the situation demand it.

Leto II is gone for good, except for OM. The "pearl" was just that; a miniscule portion of what Leto was, and not a compressed version of the whole. The pearl that the worms have do not make them Leto, or in any way similar to him.

Re: Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
I completely agree on not typing characters in Dune. I usually feel humanity is far to advanced in that series for the MBPT to be applicable anyway. Im still impartial using on regular people. I still find it interesting though.

Re: Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
We LOVE making things fit. It's what our brains do. When we can make something fit to ourselves, we feel the insight is that much more important and interesting.
This effect can be measured - from a scale of 0 to 100, any vague bullshit will be given an average score of ca. 84. Consistently.

We love our little boxes, and - as has been pointed out above - this is one of the failings Dune points out.
Me, I personally prefer the ancient four humours theory of the greeks and the middle ages. All people with ADHD have too much blood
Might as well assign astrological signs to the characters of Dune...
Can I just recommend this: http://web.archive.org/web/200502150148 ... rology.htm
It tells you which astrological sign you actually fit the best. The categories are still bullshit, of course, but it is still a fun debunk of astrology.
According to my calculations, the Baron's an Aries (with a 83% match)

Re: Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
Don't most good psychologists bear in mind that systems for measuring personality are rather constructed? It doesn't mean they aren't useful. It helps to have a set of concepts for communicating ideas about personality without the vagueness of individual commentary. Two people with closely matching personalities might use very different words to describe themselves if they spoke in their own words.Lundse wrote:We LOVE making things fit. It's what our brains do.

Re: Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
True. We need categories to communicate, and of course psychologists should be allowed their categories and terms for human nature, tendencies and pathologies. I've seen such categories used the right and the wrong way - and have done both myself.SadisticCynic wrote:Don't most good psychologists bear in mind that systems for measuring personality are rather constructed?

But one should always - always - be aware of how constructed such categories are. And self-diagnosing after whatever is most popular right now (four humours, bloodtype, sign, MB-tests) is never a good idea. Corporate HR departments who think they have found the right take on human nature and uses it to filter, sort and compartmentalise people are as ridiculous as phrenologists, IMHO.

Re: Mayers Briggs Personality Typing
The other way round; to evaluate and understand humanity (or the individual human) is a process that is contect-dependent. Any set of categories you set up to slot everyone into, will be (at best) only right from a certain viewpoint, given certain parameters and premises.D Pope wrote:Are you saying that humanity requires a backdrop, against which they perceive reality?Lundse wrote: Humanity is context-dependent...
