Whether online or offline, being in a psychology community (MBTI Psychology(Let's take this as an example.) You may come across the following claims:
- IESFJ (Sociable Type))that's why、
↓
I am very careful about interpersonal relationships.
[ESFJ's primary function = main function isFe; extraverted feeling[Highly developed = Proficient] *The primary function is the function you are good at.
- heINTP (Researcher Type)that's why、
↓
I can hardly pay any attention to interpersonal relationships.
[INTP's fourth function = inferior function isFe; extraverted feeling[I'm not good at it] *The fourth function is a function I'm not good at.

<ESFJ Cognitive Axis>

Have you ever thought something like the above, "I'm a ○○ type, so I have a △△ personality"?
actually,This is in reverse order.It has become。
Reversing cause and effectThis is a common mistake people often make. Please refer to the following article for more details ↓
Does a personality test really determine a person's personality?
Let's assume there are two people, A and B. Let's go through the steps involved in determining their type, one by one.
In a psychological test that involved reflecting on daily life, the following results were obtained:
- Person A: Has a very strong tendency to pay more attention to interpersonal relationships than other people.
- Person B: Has a very weak tendency to pay attention to interpersonal relationships compared to other people.
Therefore, it is expressed as follows:
Ultimately, personality types are determined as follows (although it's actually more complex, this is a simplified explanation to illustrate the essence): ↓
To summarize and connect the initial flow, it looks like this: ↓
In other words, the cause-and-effect relationship is as follows:
- 1Person A's characteristics (Person A is very considerate of interpersonal relationships) are reflected in the test.
↓
2Diagnosed with ESFJ
↓
3ESFJ(Logic is1→3(Flow) - 1Person B's characteristics are reflected in the test (Person B pays little attention to interpersonal relationships).
↓
2Diagnosed with INTP
↓
3INTP (Logic is1→3(Flow)
However, peopleReverse the order of logicThis can sometimes happen ↓
- 3Because I'm an ESFJ1Person A is very careful about interpersonal relationships.
[Logic is3→1[Flow] - 3Because INTP1Person A pays little attention to interpersonal relationships.
[Logic is3→1[Flow]
However, this is not enough.Personality tests would imply that they determine your personality.
Let's correctly recognize cause and effect.
Such cognition is undesirable because it reverses cause and effect.。

Therefore, the following statements end up being made:
- ”"That personESFJthat's why,They value relationships and are considerate (they are thoughtful, which is nice) [ESFJ's primary function isFe; extraverted feeling[developed = good at]
- ”"That personINTPthat's why,"You don't understand other people's feelings and you can't be considerate of their emotions (You don't understand other people's feelings and you're like a machine, which isn't good)" [INTP's fourth function = inferior functionFe; extraverted feeling[Underdeveloped = Not good at it]
This is sufficient for reversing cause and effect (confusing cause and effect).にI want to be careful and use psychology to benefit all aspects of my life.
