As an MBTI nerd and a generally analytical person with an affinity for a couple types in particular (ENTPs are my weakness), I looooooove that this is happening. Here’s a new trend on dating apps like Tinder and Bumble: People have started listing their Myers-Briggs types on their profiles, so prospective dates can get a tiny glimpse into a match’s personality before setting up an IRL meetup. Since it’s officially summer and uncuffing season is behind us, we’re resharing this story, originally published this time last year, in case you’re keen to swipe with a more discerning eye. And that’s because it’s FUN, and weirdly enlightening, if only because it’s one more way to consider who you are-or who you want to be with.
Licensed psychologists no longer use it, but the internet sure does. Is the Myers-Briggs personality test to be trusted? I can’t say.
