In this video I try to get the word out further about some common deadly errors and misunderstandings flying all around MBTI vlog comment sections and discussion forums about the Myers-Briggs Temperament Indicator and what's actually possible within it (vs. what lots of smart, well-meaning laypeople think is possible.)
I refer in this to what I think a lot of MBTI enthusiasts like myself would consider 'bombshells' regarding the very far from well-known, *correct* interpretation of preference scores on the four scales according to certified MBTI practice and theory.
My source is a discussion between two certified MBTI practitioners (Anne Dresden and Mike Boudria) all about some MBTI theoretical basics and difficulties these two often have to navigate in administering the long-form, legit inventory and in counselling clients who have a hard time letting go of their mistaken notions about "the instrument." (See link below.)

![Fastest armchair-typing, ever (INFP)*
. . . that I also felt 100% confident was correct. Of singer // songwriter // musician *** ELLIOTT SMITH (1969 - 2003) ***. Perhaps those of you who are INFPs or who, like me, have known and loved many INFPs, will quickly understand why. ;-) Well see . . .
The lightning-round typing of Elliott Smith happened watching the first 18 seconds of a 1998 MTV interview of the musician and songwriter by a whipper-snapper Carson Daly the first video footage Id ever seen of Smith: this extracted 3-min. clip, specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSqumt6Bt-g&t=38s
If youd like to see more of what he was like and think about the matter yourself, I suggest watching this whole Elliott Smith interview compilation reel I referred to in the video (which includes at the beginning a fresh-faced Lou Barlow [ ! ], talking with Smith about the ups and downs of touring): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0reukeg4q0&t=707s
//// One of Elliott Smiths many great songs, Somebody I Used To Know (2000) from the album Figure 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaBdt9lwvQQ //// Fastest armchair-typing, ever (INFP)*](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e6gyQzldjyw/mqdefault.jpg)
