"the completely unscientific way that the "test" was developed?"
Is Newton's law of gravitation made invalid by Newton's primary interest for alchemy ?
The problem of who and how an idea was invented, is completely out of subject.
"the application of the Forer effect to the MCTI?"
Some stupid people may be sensitive to this effect, but do you think I must be stupid just because I find myself much better described by the INTP description than with any of the other descriptions of types ?
That someone noticed that he may find himself as well fit with the description of one type than of the opposite type, does not mean that everybody else must be the same and that therefore whoever disagrees must be very stupid and have just failed to wonder about whether another type may fit him as well.
Arouet, I notice that there is here nothing rational in your argumentation. Your only argument is to stick to the blind belief than anyone with a different opinion from you must be stupid so that the stupidest reply to defend your position must fit.
In case you did not guess, I must mention that I never believed in astrology.
As for the psychologists'opinion, sorry but until now I only formed a positive opinion about the scientificity level of hard sciences like maths and physics; I have a quick favorable guess for the rationality of a few other sciences such as biology, climatology and paleontology; but there are other fields as well that I consider to be (accidentally) non-scientific, or of low scientificity level, such as philosophy, psychiatry and psychanalysis.
Yes, why not consider psychanalysis to be "mainstream", even if it is pseudo-science ?
By the way, theology is mainstream too, since there many faculties dedicated to it. This does not make it a science.
I have an opinion somewhere in between for medecine and economics. You know, this "science" of economics that is taking so much time for getting rid of the Keynesian bullshit (after it had taken seriously the marxist bullshit some time before...)
So, the science of psychology ? Sorry, what is this ?
Okay, if you insist that psychology rejects MBTI, I'll have to deduce that psychology is pseudo-science.
