If you don’t type by functions, how did you manage to type yourself?

…I find your lack of imagination disturbing.

How about this: here are some possibilities to consider.  Reblog and tag yourself with all that apply.  Feel free to add more as they occur to you.

1. Take an online test!

2. Read some type profiles and identify with one.

3. Watch some videos of typed people and identify with them.

4. Identify with a function stack.

5. Pull scrabble tiles
(or DIY some letters onto pieces of paper) out of a bag.  Let the universe decide!

6. Likewise, flipping a coin is an old standby.  Once for each letter.

7. Hold a seance.  Contact the spirits of Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs.

8. Have someone who is always right type you instead.

9. Ask the people around you how they think about you until you arrive at a group consensus as to your MBTI-specific character traits.

10. Have your brain mapped as part of an MBTI psych experiment.

11. Acting exercise: treat each profile as a character.  Try embodying each until you find the one that doesn’t feel like acting.

does a musicians song-writing “style” tells anything about their type? can you tell an artists type just by analyzing their song’s lyrics?

Maybe, but me personally, no.  Lyrics have the same problem as writing for me where you can choose to write about anything and choose to write in any style.  Sometimes in longer fictional things I find I get more of an idea, but I’m still wrong about people just as often as not when I go to check them in video later.

As for style… sometimes, but not reliably.

I think if I wanted to try doing this I would actually have to sit down and type a huge pile of musicians, find enough commonalities between their music/lyrics across type, and then try it in reverse – typing from music and lyrics, then video interviews.  This is a lot more work than I’m prepared to commit to at this point.
