Is OPS Real

Fallen down the rabbit hole of OPS , have we? Happens to the best of us. Seems great, right? But how do we know it's real? Well... to be honest... we don't. Not yet at least. I believe that it's "real" and I'll show you why in a minute, but no, the Objective Personality System hasn't been "Sensory-proven" yet.  The closest a theory ever comes to being scientifically "true" is when it's backed up by observational data, replicable in experiments and yet to be disproven. That's more than can be said of OPS I'm afraid. It's just not there yet.  Only one typing system is:  The Big 5 . (And that feels more than a little watery to me if you know what I mean...) Most personality typing systems don't even bother with science. They might strive for intellectual acceptance, sure, but they never seriously challenge the beast that is scientific method.  But OPS does! And I would argue they have come a long way.  Dave and Shan (f

INFJ Jumper Self Typing (OPS 9 Coins)

When I take an online personality test ( MBTI ), like at 16Personalities , Truity or Personality hacker , I usually come out INFJ or INTJ. From reading the descriptions of these two types and from knowing the cognitive functions it's quite clear to me that I'm not an INTJ. I feel much more at home in the INFJ box.  But not completely. On the one hand, many descriptions of the INFJ fit me like a glove, but, on the other, some not at all. This is why I kept searching and eventually found the Objective Personality System and the INFJ Jumper.   It was immediately clear to me that I was a Jumper, that I was respecting my third function ( Introverted Thinking ) instead of my second ( Extraverted Feeling ). But I never really bothered to type myself all the way down to the most granular level of the OP system, down to the 512 types.  Now that I understand the system better, hopefully good enough to be able to type myself correctly, I decided to give it a shot. So here goes. 9 Coins
