MBTI, Jungian Psychology, And Ray Peats Personality

[Dopamine]

Prominent psychologist Carl Jung layed out a theory of personality in his book: "Psychological Types." He went on to describe the different facets of personality and how people tend to fall into certain patterns of cognition. Carl Jungs theories are being proven by neuroscientist Dario Nardi as he studies how different people show different EEG brain wave activity patterns when solving the same problems as people of other personalities. Our personality influences our perception of the world- our weaknesses and strengths and psychological blind spots so I think it is important to understand Ray Peats personality... his "psychological type." Of course nobody falls cleanly into any clear "personality type" grouping. Some people have extreme cognitive biases just as some people have relatively balanced personalities.

I believe Ray Peat is what Jung described as an "introverted thinking type"

In the MBTI system he would be described as an "INTP"



Dario Nardi:


I can try typing some of the members on this forum if you want me too though of course not with 100% accuracy.

The Myers-Briggs test has less validity than the Big Five personality test.

Here's a discussion on the former: r/askscience - How scientifically valid is the Myers Briggs personality test?

Pretty sure he (Peat) is an enneagram type one. He could be a five though.
