How good are you at reading people? Do you consider yourself quite an expert at understanding others? If so, then I would guess that you are familiar with the Myers Briggs 16 personality types, Socionics or Jungian psychoanalysis. Perhaps you have heard of the work of Carl Jung and his research into the archetypes.
Many of those active in the MBTI community these days claim that they can figure out someone's type in a matter of seconds - while others argue that you need many hours of watching and listening in order to accurately type someone.
Some of the MBTI experts state that you can only type a person face to face, while other experts can type people by watching them speak on video.
Not to mention the multitude of various different ways to type and methods these professionals profilers use to type their clients. Some of them have charts and grids they use to place people on, while observing their behavior and communication style.
I have seen others type people by listening for specific language patterns while they speak, and other experts simply look at facial micro-expressions to figure out what personality type someone most likely fits.
I find this fascinating and would like to get more people interested in learning to type. It is important that everyone understands themselves and others, no matter how they choose to utilize these tools.
Type My Friend Sessions
So please do join me in what is meant to be an interactive and collaborative typing experiment, and let's find out just how good we are collectively at speed typing others. This could also be a good way of finally legitimizing the MBTI tool as a valid science within the field of psychology.
All you need to do to participate in the objective typing process is join me in these Type My Friend live broadcasts, during which I ask different people the same set of questions. And by observing them and the way they answer - you comment with your guess as to what type they are, and why you think so.
If you can't join us live, you can always watch the replay and add your comments after. The sessions are always conducted with no rehearsal or editing of any kind - so as to maintain objectivity.
These live sessions are 100% free to join, and can be accessed via Zoom from any device, browser, or via the mobile application. The replay videos can be found on YouTube and are no more than 20 minute long. Results will only be published in 2020 once enough data has been collected.
Your participation would assist us in furthering our self-knowledge, the entire field, and would help us perhaps for many generations to come.
