> Wrong, I say! You may be able to convince other people that you can analyze people's score tables and conjure up something profound out of thin air, practically, from such a bare-bones source, but I'm not in that league. I have correctly guessed people's Myers-Briggs and Ennea types just by looking at them for a few seconds. In face-to-face situations, when the stranger has had the opportunity to either confirm or deny the accuracy of my guess, I have a perfect record of agreement so far. My point is not to brag (though that's always nice =o). My main point is to make it clear that in spite of all this, even I will not pretend to be able to analyze someone's personality in depth by looking at a numerical score table.
> I have had extensive contact with representatives of most of the common M-B/9gram combinations, and with this *realistic* reference, I find no significant consistency of patterns as far as relations go. My relationship with one 4w5 INFP will be completely different from my relationship with another. They both will like me, and dislike me, and take to me, and avoid me, and agree with me, and disagree with me, for completely different reasons, and there will be little, if any, overlap. Don't believe the hype!
