Hi and welcome to PHQ, questions from the personality hacker community.

My name is Joe Mark Witt and I'm Antonia Dodge and let's get right to our

question this week.

Hey guys, love your podcast.

I just started listening and I've been pretty blown away by all this stuff I've been learning.

I have a question about when you take the Myers-Briggs test when you have a 50-50 result. I'm an

ESFP but I grew up in a family of all

intuitors and I'm the only S in my family.

So when I tested, I think that's why I tested 50,50 S and N. I know pretty much when I read the

ESFP that I am like 100% ESFP. Just wondering how the 50-50 result might affect my cognitive functions.

If you guys could go into that a little bit more, that would be great to hear from you. Thanks. Thank you for the question. So

you're asking if you take a test online and you get a percentage breakdown.

You know the you're taking a test based on that four letter code, the dichotomy,

whether you're introverted or extroverted, you're intuitive or sensor, you're a thinker or feeler,

you're a judge or a perceiver, and often tests will result you know the results will come back with a percentage breakdown you're 30% introvert and 70% extrovert or you're like you have in this case 50% intuition and 50% sensing and it goes on from there.

And what you're asking is if it's really close to the line, how do I deal with that?

Like it really matters which one that goes to. I mean, I'm not two different. I'm not two types in one person.

So why is it showing up so close to the line? What does this mean mean does this mean the accuracy of tests

online is not there I mean what unpacked this for me Joel and Antonia that's what I'm

hearing you ask basically yeah that's what I'm hearing too and this this is a big question. We get this in customer service and the emails we get.

I think that this particular question like outnumbers every other question.

Multiple emails a day.
