> I and someone else are telling overusing a typology system can be dangerous (here comes some reasons) because it can lead to prejudism, hasty conclusions of character, broken hearts and whatever.

This is called 'learning' - about one's own prejudices, type, recognition of others in self ['shadow'], etc.

> Then you attack those opinions by making a hasty judgement and labeling it with an opinionated title. I could make a guess about your type based on that, but it would jumping to a conclusion, which usually is counterproductive.

This again I would call 'learning'.

“Everyone is my superior in some way -
therefore, I can learn from everyone.”
[Emerson]

“Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.”
[Will Durant]

“People need trouble – a little frustration to sharpen the spirit …..
You have to learn fortitude, endurance.
Only vegetables are happy.”
[William Faulkner]

keep up the good work Ronnie.
