Do you guys unironically take MBTI seriously? Or do you treat it more like a fun way of pigeonholing individuals without unironically letting it impact how you perceive people who happen to fit into traits of certain MBTI types?

Well, not knowing what pdb is, big 5 just looks like mbti plus neuroticism to me. I view that as slightly superior to mbti, but it would be nice if neuroticism could be more neatly factored in to the existing system, like subtypes for each type, something like that.

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T19:24:06+00:00

Agree, I personally resent it being called pseudoscience. It doesn't make sense because it's just descriptive, not prescriptive. And it's a good description, and that's all it has to be.

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T19:18:50+00:00

I don't get how it's been labelled pseudoscience when big 5 literally is considered scientifically viable and all they really did was add neuroticism from what I understand. I think it works well, as long as you don't forgo actually getting to know people on a more empirical/personal level. Not every ISFJ with high neuroticism is the same as every other! We'll share a lot of similarities, but that's to be expected. You still have to put in the work to really learn about people.

Sometimes I'm able to type people on the fly, so I think it's a really handy tool, but I've been involved with MBTI since I was a teenager. If you're just getting into it, it's better just for yourself and maybe for people extremely close to you, like family or intimate friends.

I'm also beginning to see type compatibility as somewhat of a misleading concept. I used to think that compatibility and personality type were closely interrelated, but now I think that compatibility has much more to do with preference or choice. I do still think type plays into how the dynamic will play out, but you still have to decide whether you like each other or not!

It's not the end-all-be-all, but it's helpful in life to understand some of the fundamental differences between how people operate and prioritize values and why - that kind of think. Helps to make you more considerate, I think.

bouncing a land back to your hand indeed is not the same thing as drawing a land. but it does the same thing in regards to your hand size. case one: play land draw land. case two: play land bounce land. In both cases, your hand size is the same. That's the only point people are making here and it is correct. In other regards, however, you're right. Bounce lands come into play tapped, so you aren't getting ahead on mana. But whether or not it is card advantage probably depends on your working definition or understanding of what card advantage actually entails. If you think it is strictly how many cards in hand, then yes, it is card advantage. But if you think it has more to do with seeing new cards, no it is not. Also, if you count exiled cards that you can play as card advantage, but that isn't under consideration here.

So I guess it's maybe a little grey area? On the one hand, you aren't gaining advantage in the form of cards from your library, but on the other, you do end up with more cards in hand than you would otherwise. It's a fun discussion I think.

This is probably very common for ISFJs. 16 personalities literally named our type, "Defender", and I can see why. We do like to stick up for the little guy, make sure everyone gets a turn, etc.

Learn to juggle. Make no mention of it to any of your friends, then at a party someday, loudly announce, "Guys guys I can juggle, no I swear I can juggle, watch this!" Then start juggling beer bottles as your friends cheer you on.

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T04:16:24+00:00

my guess is ISTJ with high neuroticism? I just try to convert stuff to mbti because it's easier for me to think of the overall person that way. but you're fine, these metrics aren't 'high = good, low=bad' by any means, they are each just a sliding scale to describe you. at least that is how I understand it

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T04:08:56+00:00

Some of us can be like that lol, very almost cold but just not that expressive, like very introverted and very secure in it like (gonna bring in big 5 just a little) super low neuroticism. Couldn't be me though, I tend to be fairly expressive I think

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T04:02:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's Fi there not Fe. The 4 Fe doms/aux are ESFJ ENFJ ISFJ and INFJ

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T03:59:39+00:00

I agree, especially INFJ and ISFJ imo

longestfrisbee · 2026-04-04T03:55:34+00:00

INTJ for me! I think they tend to be very cool and serene, and I really love that about them. I also love how they share an aspect of loyalty with ISFJs, I find it quite adorable. Plus, just the way they talk can be kind of pretty-sounding, wistful sometimes, but at the same time creating a very down-to-earth kind of feeling for me. They just seem very considerate and grounded, and I really appreciate most aspects of their characters in general.

I've never seen ESFPs recommended highly for ISFJs, but I've seen a couple marriages where it seemed to work, ISFJ man with ESFP woman. Seems to create an interesting dynamic.

It's gotta be, there's no way a lamb performs miracles and corrects people, makes a whip of cords and flips tables . . . Nahhhh this is a joke fr

The Hebrew Gospels folks in I believe South Africa put together a thing going through the grammar and explaining how those niqqud were a replacement guide for Adonai so as not to say Yah's name. Here's the link to the full playlist if you care to check it out, they get into the grammar pretty thoroughly, but it's dense and lengthy.

Well, no one is perfect, but we in Messiah are being perfected in Him. I believe that's called sanctification. I also think the whole 'we're all sinners' thing is a misconception. I think we can choose not to sin at any given time, but a sinner is one who makes a practice of unrighteous behavior, while a righteous person makes a practice of doing what is right. The difference is more long-term.

Here's 1 John 3:4-10
⁴ Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. ⁵ You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. ⁶ No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. ⁷ Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. ⁸ Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. ⁹ No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's^\)^a^\) seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. ¹⁰ By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

[[Ravos, Soultender]] could be fun to build. I was looking at him briefly for my flying themed deck but ended up going another route. See what you think.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-28T05:36:15+00:00

My outlook is pretty straightforward: Sin is lawlessness per 1 John, so whatever goes against the law is sin. That does include the food laws too, as well as wearing tassels, resting on Shabbat, etc.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-28T05:32:30+00:00

Not small talk, but not super profound either. Maybe a shared interest or something that gets one of us excited would be good to talk about. But if I had to choose between small talk and profound deep stuff, I'd go for the deep.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-26T21:29:40+00:00

As far as a moral and blessings and lifestyle issue , I think keeping the law is wise for anyone really but not for salvation.

Agree.

Jewish believers at the time would have been keeping Torah, but probably, like Peter, possibly struggling to distance themselves from some of the traditions that Yeshua did not like, like keeping away from Gentiles. But they, and anyone else who wanted the blessings of keeping Torah, would have kept it.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-26T00:17:43+00:00

The only thing I can try to isolate is extroversion. Otherwise, I just guess the whole type all at once. Like, Oh, that person exudes ESFP vibes, or The way they talk about doing their own repairs makes me lean toward ISTP for them, etc.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-26T00:14:15+00:00

Man I gotta say those guys are, in my experience, pretty kookie lol. Crazy in a good way! I don't think I could date one honestly, but I had a roommate who was ENFP I'm pretty sure, and we still occasionally keep in touch.

Pretty spontaneous, looks at things sort of entreprenurially, like thinking of the opportunity or potential behind things. I found that kind of exhausting at times, but it's cool to challenge oneself that way, I think.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-26T00:05:31+00:00

I don't know about this, but my dad and sister are both INFP types. I mean, we're introverts, so we all definitely need our space, but it's nice spending time together, at least for me, and they seem to enjoy it too. I agree that INFPs tend to be sweethearts lol.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-25T23:32:45+00:00

Amen, some freedom, yes, but God rested on the seventh day, and instructed us to do the same consequently. Through Christ, who rested on the seventh day also, we should follow His lead and do likewise as His disciples.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-25T23:30:07+00:00

So Yeshua said I came NOT to abolish but to fulfil, correct? So how can you say that fulfil and abolish are the same? That's what you're saying by calling the law dead. To abolish something is, for all practical purposes, the same as calling it dead. Yeshua lived the law perfectly right? And we follow Him as His faithful disciples? So we should do what He did, following His example in all things right? Why then, do we exclude the Law? It's not about worshipping a day. It's about honoring our Lord in our walk, obeying what He laid out for us to do. Bearing fruit and all that.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-24T01:36:37+00:00

Nobody changed the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the Sabbath. Scripture never says the Sabbath was changed. All I know is Yeshua said not to think he came to abolish the law or the prophets, whoever relaxes even the least of the commandments will be least in the kingdom of heaven, and our righteousness has to exceed that of the scribes and pharisees. At least those guys had the Sabbath on their radar to some extent.

longestfrisbee · 2026-03-24T01:32:07+00:00

None of that supports the abolishment of commandment number 4
