Dispelling MBTI Superstition: A Study on the Dialectical Use of MBTI from the Perspective of Social Use
Abstract
This paper starts from a rational understanding and use of MBTI and explores the advantages of MBTI. However, compared with the previous popular horoscope, MBTI has stronger academic theoretical support and provides young people with a "more scientific" choice, such as "which MBTI is more suitable for traveling" and "the best partner for INFP". MBTI has already become a new trend in people's minds, and many different versions have emerged in the process of spreading. Although MBTI can help people understand themselves more accurately, due to the characteristics of the Internet and the limitations of the test itself, it may bring strong negative effects to people. People's understanding and perception of MBTI may only be limited to a few letter combinations of personality types, leading to the appearance of fixed labels, reliability, validity, etc. problems. This study will analyze from the perspectives of education, enterprises, and individuals, and give relevant suggestions.
