I stopped reading when the mentioned Meyers Briggs over and over again. Might as well throw in horoscopes and skull measurements.
A review of correlations between big five personality types and life outcomes

#182"Broadly speaking, they are more happy, successful, intelligent, creative, and popular." This reads like an extrovert's life wish list - particularly "popular," but even "happy" and "creative." I disagree that someone who exhibits these characteristics is somehow "better" or is living a better life.
Completely agree here. As an introvert, wouldn't one be happier being around _less_ people? More so, I'd beg to argue creativity isn't a uniformly measured trait. An introvert expressing their creativity (i.e. through a personal project for their own satisfaction) is way different than an extroverted person running a business to express their creativity.

You decided to read that I dont lie about my astrology signs or myer briggs result I judge which one will likely help create an intimate consensual scenario and judge when to avoid criticizing either school of thought as disagreement is usually counterproductive to a consensual reproductive scenario Pick your battles wisely Out of even more adaptive curiosity, how do you read that as lying?
I think it just means you are an Agreeable person and GP is more Conscientious ;)
Becoming more so agreeable, I wish people wouldnt rally behind reductive character philosophies like Myers Briggs or sun signs

I dunno. “I didn’t say the things I thought you wouldn’t like so that we could have sex” somehow strikes me as disingenuous. Even though that’s just being considerate by a different name. I guess it comes from the goal you are trying to achieve.
I don't share all values with people I have as companions and dont screen for that either, its an adaptation to never bring it up as well
But I’ll probably be knowledgeable about the value system
We’re on to love languages now too right

#185Of all of the personality traits I have attempted to change over the years, my introversion has remained the most stubborn. It's a shame, too. I can briefly emulate extraversion, at an enormous cost of mental energy and feel like a dog walking on its hind legs. Nor do I seem to be able to extract the purported benefits of it. And the list of approaches I have exhausted is, in retrospect, more than a little shocking. It's the one area where "fake it until you make it" seems to have failed me utterly.

"I will lie to manipulate you into fucking me, and also I think I'm smarter than everyone". You charmer, you.

What methods have you tried to emulate extraversion? A friend of mine used improv and acting to help them "act" more extroverted, YMMV. Me, I'm still emulating too.

:) unfalsifiable to breakdown a belief system as only some relatable combination within that system would behave this way right
Re: A review of correlations between big five personality types and life outcomes
#189not personality trait obviously, but in terms of success IQ probably matters more than big 5. I think personality can be improved or changed though effort but intelligence cannot. Someone who is introverted can make an effort to be extroverted in situations where it matters.
I’m just amazed that we’re still happy to condense one of the most complex phenomena, if not *the* most complex phenomenon that we were aware of into a single scalar performance value.
It is valid to make this judgement about IQ itself as in the test itself. However, I think that when most people refer to IQ, they just mean the general notion of intelligence.

> If IQ is important, maybe it's just that intelligent people know how to take personality tests. What even is intelligence? I know that IQ is what IQ tests measure, but what is intelligence? People say my dog is intelligent, but only in response to her displays of obedience to my commands, I've noticed. I silently translate their comment about intelligence to mean "your dog is obedient." Does an IQ test measure what…
I think general intelligence is about your ability to absorb and synthesize information. Higher intelligence = fast learner + better at joining seemingly unrelated dots.
Im curious if people can augment such abilities outside of their mind. Systems like Zettalkesten's and "smart note-taking" claim such notions you draw upon here.
