In the recent Suga + Jin FM they talked briefly about their MBTI types. As someone who has studied the system for a LONG time, I would like to say a few things.
It's hard to get an accurate result without a professional evaluator or extensive research. Many people are mistyped +
+ or get different types depending on the test and when they take it. This is due to many factors, often because the tests and results are often based on the 4 letter code for that type rather than the cognitive functions of the type.
MBTI codes are based on the 4 dichotomies +
+
Introversion-Extroversion
Intuitive-Sensing
Feeling-Thinking
Judging-Perceiving

The 4 letter code describes behavior, but the cognitive functions describe the thought and decision-making processes that guide behaviors. So, the types become much clearer when you learn about +
+the cognitive functions of each type and how they stack.
Suga said he falls between 2 types depending on the day, but (though they only differ by one letter) the cognitive processes for those types are very different. More likely he is able to use both his Feeling and Thinking +
+ functions well and has developed the ability to use his lower order functions on command rather than as a stress response (which is normal for all types as they grow).
Though, I cannot type him precisely (not a pro, just an enthusiast of the system), I wanted to use this +
+ as a teaching moment.
You cannot be more than one type or fall between types (the system isn't built that way), so if you are having trouble figuring out which one you are. Look up and learn about the MBTI cognitive functions. It's illuminating!
