The MBTI to Fascism Pipeline
[tw: gendered violence, sanism]
The one thing I've noticed about the pseudoscience of the MBTI is that it divides people into this hierarchy of the superior masculine and inferior feminine, and especially the weaponization of rationality as an inherent bioessential trait rather than a culturally-dependent learned skill.
Think of the weaponization of irrationality for a moment. Think of which groups the notion of "irrationality" is weaponized against the most.
If you thought of marginalized genders and neurodivergent people (among many others), you would very much be right.
The first thing I'd like to talk about in regards to the relationship between the MBTI pseudoscience and fascist hierarchies is the weaponization of gendered discrimination in the MBTI and those who believe in it.
The fascist weaponization of bioessential rationality takes on a very much gendered nature in MBTI media, as "feeling" in the MBTI and its related personality types are associated with a lesser femininity and "thinking" associated with a superior masculinity, even with cis men who experience "feeling" and marginalized genders who experience "thinking", as both of these are conceptualized in MBTI.
Think of the illustrations in the popular "16Personalities" test just before the website added customizable gender options to the personality results.
We end up seeing that most of the depictions for "feeling personalities", including but not limited to ENFP, ISFP, INFP, ISFJ, and more, are nearly all represented by female characters, while "thinking personalities", such as ENTP, INTJ, ISTP, ESTP, and more, are predominantly represented by male characters.
This isn't coming from thin air. Conceptualizations like these build upon the parallel between the false dichotomy of binary gendered characterization and the false dichotomy between logic and emotion.
It builds upon these concepts as inherently diametric opposites in which the inferior needs to be subjugated by the superior when in our real lives, that is very much not the case.
Logic and emotion, like the supposedly masculine and feminine, work hand in hand and intertwine to form our personality and decisions. These concepts are not mutually exclusive, but fascism ultimately hinges upon the perception of these concepts as opposites to be exploited for profit since the very nature of fascism relies at least in part on the notion that there should be a predestined and narrowly-defined "us" to subjugate the lessers and fulfill destiny, usually with some underlying religious connotation of the decline and rebirth of the "us" in fascist hierarchy of "us versus them", the palingenesis in palingenetic ultranationalism. ("Endnote 2: White Fascism")
Another thing that I'd like to talk about regarding fascist hierarchies and the MBTI is the weaponization of emotion and rationality as it pertains to Mad and neurodivergent communities. The pathologized notion of irrationality is very often weaponized by psychiatric police officers to disregard and individualize the self-defense against the constant systemic oppression that Mad and neurodivergent folk have to go through, in addition to demonizing the inherent processes of the Mad and/or neurodivergent bodymind as some lesser disease to be "cured" into neuroconformity in one way or another.
The notion of the emotional feminine is similarly weaponized among marginalized neurotypes as those who are seen as society's lessers are seen as irrational villains for wanting to work towards a more equitable, just, and anti-carceral society for Mad and neurodivergent communities. The inherently fascist hierarchy of a select few ultra-privileged "us" ruling over a marginalized "them" in the constructed dichotomy of "us versus them" is then enforced both through societal constructs and, in the case of the Mad and neurodivergent communities, psychiatric policing in all regards, from smaller-scale civilian policing to more systemic means of violence against these marginalized people.
"Feeling" here is conflated with irrational, which is then conflated with wrong, especially in regards to the MBTI pseudoscience. Members of the Autistic Community, among many others, are more likely to be labelled with a "feeler" personality and thus promptly dismissed as having a "wrong" existence and "irrational" thougts as defined and enforced by the very same psychiatric policing that demonizes and effectively criminalizes Autistic existence. It's no wonder, then, that the marginalized existence of these neurodivergent and Mad communities are wrongfully conflated with the societal construct of the feminine emotional as was discussed earlier in this post, and it's certainly no wonder that, in my observation and experience in having previously engaged in MBTI culture as an Autistic person myself, that marginalized neurotypes are more readily labelled with and dismissed as "feeler" personalities by larger MBTI culture.
With this, I would like to end this post on the note that pseudoscientific structures like the MBTI are systemically dangerous structures for our societies that do nothing but further divide people, engage in violent hierarchies of discrimination, and propogate the weapons of fascist ideals that end up turning our society in a very dangerous and worse way, and that we should do what we can to reject these hierarchies and work towards equity and justice for all.

The people at Personality Database (a website for loons who genuinely believe in the astrology bullshit that is MBTI) are disgusting transphobes. Calling Cordelia's arc 'unnecessary politics' 'everything went downhill from there' like. Wow fucking dudebros who wanted to see gore and porn only - then watch Viking sex scenes, why are you shitting on actual characterisation and plot ?
Atleast there are good people on other sites.
These dudebros have an IQ of like 20 and are unhappy irl, that's why they shit on harmless stuff.

The thing about MBTI that bothers me is that I couldn't seem to fit into any category even though reading through every type was entertaining but I couldn't neatly fit into anything and I couldn't understand the cognitive functions well due to inconsistency and the reliability of it make my mind go all over the place. Though, what I got is that this is based on Carl Jung's theory from his own observations on people almost half century ago. However, I find modern studies of human brain's functions to be more based:
Tumblr media
I don't understand all the hype around MBTI, people say it makes them feel "understood" but though I'm happy people find comfort in it I think it's safe to say it's inaccurate and shouldn't be taken at face value.

a short analysis of INTJ characters and their trauma
thinkin' bout INTJ anti-heroes and villians and how they always seem to have underlying trauma from their childhoods.
INTJ anti-heroes are some of the most complex, incredible characters, especially when written correctly
oftentimes, many of them have something major that happened while they were younger (ex. abusive parents or bullying) and it seems to manifest in them in an interesting way. us INTJs prefer to ignore and repress our emotions, but obviously, trauma doesn't listen to that.
a lot of INTJ characters become numb to emotion because of the trauma they experienced. they become dissociated and eager to forget their pasts. but part of trauma is confronting and moving on from what happened in the past by gaining closure, not denying, ignoring and pushing it away entirely. so, no, INTJs are not emotionless creatures. we just typically deal with emotional issues in different (sometimes unhealthy) ways.
yet other characters (typically the INTJ villians we see in media) get stuck in an Ni-Fi loop. they bypass their rational decision making (Te aux) when making decisions. they wallow in their emotions and lose all touch with the outside world and reality. they're dissociated and eager to forget their pasts, but in a different way. they turn to violence and want revenge.
i see people argue that a very obvious INTJ character "has to be an INFJ (or INFP), because they cried about their trauma!" no, for one thing, that's not how MBTI works (see: cognitive functions and the Te/Fi axis vs. the Fe/Ti axis), and that's not how people work.
on another note, often, a main part of an INTJ character's arc is overcoming their trauma. it is such a recurring theme that i just bet on it happening sometime in the book/movie whenever i find an INTJ character.
and, of course, the way characters act in media tend to reflect the way people act in real life.
INTJs are often ridiculed and bullied in their school years because we are different from others. our brains work differently and we don't fit in. people undermine how much trauma bullying and childhood abuse can create, and how we're often not taught the correct ways to deal with it, so we just get stuck carrying it our life.
tl;dr - my two points:
INTJ anti-heroes and villians are some of the most complex and interesting characters to unpack, as they often have some sort of trauma that must be overcame for their arc to be complete
just because an INTJ character shows emotion, it doesn't automatically make them an INFJ

Ya know
Time to be grateful to God almighty for the good things in life
Today I'm grateful to the fact that it's been months since ofmd was released and I never saw a single fanart or edit or post sorting the characters in Hogwarts houses
The inexistence of Izzy hands in a tacky green and silver scarf or posts about how oluwande is "such a Hufflepuff' just makes me so happy

I've been keeping track of who visits me in twst and when because I'm genuinely curious as to how the randomizer goes and here's what I've found out:
In terms of total so far for 2023:
Rook and Riddle have visited me the most, with 5 days each.
Tied for 2nd place are Cater, Ace, Epel, Malleus, and Lilia w/4 each.
Monthly
My most frequent visitor in January was Rook (4 visits).
February's was Riddle and Epel (3 visits).
Other data:
Vil and Ortho have yet to show up at all in our year of the lord 2023 because Rook and Epel (especially Rook) are Gatekeeping Vil away from me so no Pomefiore sweep. Ortho has never really liked me in this file ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
This is such a Rook thing for me to do. No wonder he's showing up so much.

My opinion of the mbtis as an INTP
ENTP hilarious. You're me when I'm under the influence. I envy your balls and don't envy your constant drama
ENFP we vibe. You're a cute softy.
INFP you are my inner child you magical fae
ENFJ best friend material (seriously I collect this type, you're perfect)
ESFJ surprisingly amazing. We're so different we come full circle and end up the best team ever
INTJ this type (all of them) are my older sister. I love her, look up to her, and will protect her with my life. I don't always get her.
INFJ not sure I get the hype? You're cool and all but not any cooler than ENFJ
ESTJ I hate your guts. You are my worst nightmare. (I have deep respect for your existence but a major problem if it starts happening too close to me)
ISTJ I also hate your guts but at least respect that I can keep you at a distance using my intellect as a poking stick
Everyone else: do they really exist? I've never met them, or the rare times I do, I immediately forget their type b/c they make so little impression on me. (Yes, I am sometimes be a stuck up asshole)

Astrological Character Design Prompt:
A character with Leo sun and Scorpio rising signs. They brim with confidence but are super secretive about it. Couple that Leo confidence with the tendency of Scorpio to be drawn to jobs involving death, other peoples' money, and the hidden side of life, and you have either a
- magnificent bastard
- antihero
- possibly an antivillain although I'm not sure?
Either way, you have someone who loves the spotlight and is very good at being in it but who also is carefully guarded about their private life. Maybe they have a tendency to get sucked into underground affairs. This character's personality alone could lead them to get dragged into a byzantine subplot, possibly with their Leo tendences making among the rich and famous. idk. Would be interesting to write about though

You will find some of the dumbest and worst people in the MBTI community. Sure, there are genuinely good people there too, but so many dudebro pieces of shit.

ppl calling mbti a pseudoscience (which, there's truth in that) and being able to feel content with something that's made up when there's actual scientific observations of the mechanisms of human psychology present; the entirety of jung's work describes, contextualizes and summarizes the patterns of human psychology that were acquired through empirical means.
jung being the one who clearly dedicated his time to show how psychology is a science if you know what you're doing, and criticized theories of other people in the field (like freud) for their rather subjective analyses. what jung did was observational work and he wrote down his extensive observations. without making the observations subjective. because that's what observations inherently are. i don't understand how majority of ppl still cling onto the concept of mbti when there's something so much better, real and actual a hands reach away. just open any book of jung's and this time don't discard any parts that you might find hard to comprehend the first time.
were you really interested to know how humans work on a psychological level, or were you just enthralled by the new astrology 2.0? in that case, why not stick to actual astrology?

It would be funny if you typed Riverdale
Listen, I did Riverdale on a different blog… like years ago, when it was still on air, and I typed one character (who was toxic, because, surprise, surprise, it’s Riverdale), and people who had this particular type got so mad at me, and started calling me names, telling me to kms…
So, don’t really want to subject myself to that again (especially because I still definitely stand by the type I gave this character).
Also… don’t want to force myself to watch that show just for a typing.

﹟ he used to do competitive figure skating when he was younger but stopped a year after moving to america. he got into the sport because of his sister, han subin—a now retired professional figure skater, and saw her as a role model. 
﹟ despite being seen as soft, jaewon doesn’t get scared easily and often partakes in tormenting the other members with chanhee. he enjoys psychological thrillers the most and gore films the least under the genre. 
﹟ a human scale; he can tell how heavy someone is just by lifting them. 
﹟ there’s an old video of him as a child slipping on the ice and sliding on his stomach, leading to his fans fondly nicknaming him “pengwon”. many often use the penguin emoji as a joke whenever he does something clumsy on screen. 
﹟ whenever nervous or scared, jaewon said that his hands go freezing cold and take a while to warm up again after. he mentioned that it happens a lot still and he isn’t sure how to fix it. 
﹟ his close idols friends include: oneus’ keonhee, verivery’s dongheon, a majority of nct, and sf9’s chani. he wants to be closer with stray kids but is too shy to approach them first. 
﹟ him and sunwoo are childhood friends and somewhat rivals. they used to live close by to each other before and after jaewon moved back to south korea and would bicker a lot. sunwoo mentioned that jaewon is not the type of person you want to play fight with unless you’re sure you’ll win. 
﹟ loves pokemon and animal crossing. his favourite pokemon are mimikyu and eevee while his favourite villagers are raymond and butch. 
﹟ grew up learning piano and cello and is self-taught in bass and guitar. he often helps to compose and produce the group’s music and loves to make his own songs. fans have been begging him to post stuff on soundcloud.
