MBTI, also known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, in short was created to deduct a persons psychological type, or as some would say their 'personality type'. There are 16 MBTI types that hold 4 key letters in their name that differentiates them from other types. The letters are based on one's psychological traits being:

First Letter: Extraverted vs Introverted = E/I
Second Letter: Intuitive vs Observant = N/S
Third Letter: Thinking vs Feeling = T/F
Forth Letter: Judging vs Prospecting = J/P
Sometimes people accompany their MBTI type with 1 additional letter being "-A" or "-T" which is Assertive vs Turbulent. A type may generally look like this 'ENTJ' or this with the extra letter, 'ENTJ-A'.
Each Myers-Briggs type possesses peculiar descriptions and mental characteristics which may for show how someone could possibly think or act. Many take online tests just to see what their Myers-Briggs type is, a popular site is 16personalities. com as it's commended for its accuracy.
In this poll, I'm curious to know how many people take MBTI seriously. I know some are against the thought of it and think it's nonsense. I've seen a few people question its authenticity and compare it with horoscopes. While some enjoy the idea of it and think it does have considerable information behind it.

I personally believe in MBTI to a certain extent. I think it does have some credible information associated with it and I find myself interested in the purpose of it. I don't like to think of MBTI as a procedure to see what someone's 'personality type' is however. I like to see it as a way to find one's 'thinking type'. I linked 2 sources to help people's understandings of MBTI.

I hope at least 1 G@G user besides myself is interested in this topic, lol. Also, please correct what I've said if necessary. I'm always open to corrections and new information~!

The saint to whom I'm referring is Julian of Norwich: https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=4124

From Authority and the Female Body in the Writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kemp
By Liz Herbert McAvoy:
"The precious bleeding of Christ is compared with a specifically female blood-loss, whether menstrual flow or blood-loss associated with childbirth. Like the blood of childbirth or menstruation, for example, it appears to be a woundless bleeding…
Julian then continues by associating this blood with water, a traditional biblical allusion which now, however, takes on a new relevance. Not only do both water and blood flow from Christ’s side during the crucifixion, they flow also from the similarly opened body of the birthing mother.
Just as the mother’s labour brings forth new life along with blood and amniotic fluid, so Christ through his labour on the cross and his exuding of blood and water gives birth to human redemption."

Indeed, this goes for menstrual blood too, which has been proven to have the potential to save lives:


So menstruation can be seen as a cyclical reminder of women's connection to God and Christ (or, for pagans, any of the other many Divinities who are said to have menstruated) as well as the cycles of nature. Indeed, the content of menses is the endometrium, which is the place in which the zygote first implants - all humans' first home. Regularly, women are exposed to the Source of Life & reminded of their sacred status as the Vessels of Life, and their potential to help God bring souls into the world.

Just a note, recognizing that women's capability as Lifegivers and Lifenourishers is valuable, doesn't mean that I'm implying that this is "all women are good for." Women are good at many other things too; this is just one thing women have the capability to do that men don't.

And even if you dont want kids, menses still reminds women they can bleed & not die, which is badass.

So, what do you think?
