Jumping the Stack with Objective Personality

So. You’ve taken the tests . The descriptions fit. You’ve moved into your little four letter box of special and you’re starting to get real comfy. Right?  No?  Well, for the most part, you say, but there is something ... there’s definitely  something that just doesn't feel quite right. But what? The functions are all there. You know it. No other type describes you better, but still...  ...still there are things that just won’t fit and it’s starting to eat away at the comforting walls of your little box and - even worse! - that warm, fuzzy feeling of having figured yourself out is slowly slipping out the cracks!  I get it, though. I do. I can see it. You’ve joined the forum. Looking for kinship. Like-mindedness. Understanding. But everyone seem so different. There are similarities of course, but some of the discussions, some of the thoughts... the feelings... perhaps you don’t even understand the memes!  Time to panic.  Or, better yet... read up on t...

Understanding the Objective Personality Animals

Objective Personality is an actor on the personality psychology stage, who, by building upon the already well established Myers-Briggs system, aims to give it more scientific credibility.  In their pursuit of objective typing OP have introduced some intriguing new concepts, which, combined, divides the original 16 MBTI types into a total of no less than 512 discrete types (32 subtypes to each original Myers-Briggs type). The first of these concepts - “ Jumping ” - changes the order in which we respect our cognitive functions (our second “savior” function is replaced by our third function) and effectively splits the original type into two.   The second concept (and focus of this article) is called the “ Animals ”. In essence, each of the four OP Animals (“Play”, “Blast”, “Consume” and “Sleep”) is a duo of cognitive functions working together to create a behavior.  The order in which we exhibit these four behaviors further divides the two parent subtypes - let's call...

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...
