The Short Answer

Each type of claim should be judged by a different standard.

Four Claim Types

Each type of claim should be judged by a different standard.

  • Framework definition: what the Myers-Briggs system says a preference or type code means.
  • Research evidence: what independent psychology sources say about validity, reliability, and appropriate use.
  • Editorial synthesis: patterns distilled from books, public discussions, and practical observation.
  • Site heuristic: a deliberately simple tool or rule meant to be tested, not treated as scientific fact.

Primary Reference Set

These sources anchor the site's definitions and limitations.

APA Dictionary: MBTI

An independent psychology reference describing the instrument and its limited standing among research psychologists.

Review Standard

Pages should answer one clear question, distinguish description from prescription, state meaningful limits, link to related pages, and record the date of material review. Corrections should be made in the source content rather than hidden in presentation code.
