    Well you did try to diagnose me, and I found the diagnosis to be wrong, but that’s irrelevant. Of course I read with myself in mind, that’s how I know it didn’t describe me.

    Obviously I’m not saying all of Jungian psychology is a false dichotomy, but the way the majority of society interprets and applies it is. If everyone thinks there are only two options when there are innumerable options, that’s a false dichotomy.

      I was very careful with the words I chose. “What you described” =/= a diagnosis.

      This is tiring on day two.

      False equivalence. The fallacy that fits best with your beliefs over all this, is false equivalence. That one is not literally incorrect, just goes with the level of depth you’re attributing to something you do not understand, better.

        Sorry you’re sleepy, maybe you didn’t charge your social battery properly. I have a job where I can’t just shoot shit on internet forums all day, otherwise the back-and-forth could go a lot quicker.

        I agree, it is a false equivalence. The equivalence being between “introverted vs extroverted” and “entire personality type”. The reason it’s false is due to the false dichotomy of the erroneous popular belief that “you’re either introverted or extraverted”. They’re not even inversely correlated. Intraversion and extraversion are two independent variables of a potential personality spectrum, but it’s not a linear spectrum, it’s a radar chart. That misunderstanding of the spectrum is a false binary. The fact that most people think they are inversely correlated is also a false binary.

          And I thought I was a pretentious prick…

          First, fuck your allusion, you have absolutely no idea what the fuck I do for a living.

          Secondly, you’re the only moron thinking the system only has two levers. You literally have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, and could remedy it at any fucking time with a search.

          Even the basic Wikipedia Page on the concept of a what a personality type fucking is, will show when you expand the fucking little boxes, with Jung’s being the beginning of the layman giving a fuck because I/E is an easy gateway, is a fucking system where you apply the two attitudes against four sensations to produce eight base personality types, upon which every fucking person is supposed to fucking individuate from, you dense motherfucker.

            Looks like you really pissed yourself off with that wild interpretation! I didn’t imply anything about you or your job, I was just explaining why I wasn’t able to respond to this obviously trivial discussion quicker.

            It’s almost like you haven’t read a thing I’ve said. I said the Jungian theory isn’t a false dichotomy, the popular interpretation is. You’re interpretation is not the popular interpretation, neither is Wikipeida’s, I’m not arguing with either. But yeah, keep going out of your way to try and insult my intelligence, it’s obvious you think that will hurt me. In the psychology field, that’s known as projection.
