Unmatched someone: I was talking about how the movie Avatar is a blatant allegory for native/indigenous populations and the person got offended that I would “put real life events into a movie about blue people”
Been unmatched: the person had a series of 4 almost identical selfies but each one had different anime boys edited in as if they were hanging out (amazing bit. Perfect joke) and my opening line was “i hate when people have only group photos. It makes it so difficult to tell when one I matched with”. I was called an idiot and unmatched within 5 minutes.
She told me that her favorite comedian was Jeff Dunham and that she didn’t like reading.
I also hate it when people say the same thing twice in a row.
I have no social media and that’s a red flag apparently
In her introduction she made it a point to mention that she’s an INTP and wanted to know what type I was. I simply said that those types of personality tests aren’t really my thing. I got a reply back, something to the effect of “Well thanks for showing up front what a toxic and hateful human being you are!”
So yeah guys, sorry about being so toxic and hateful for not being into personality tests.
Even if you were, you’d probably still get rejected for not being whatever arbitrary letter combination she was looking for.
Lol, I used to work for a big corporation which made these tests (16 personalities in specific) mandatory during job training. After I debunked that shite as bogus I got the afternoon off.
I worked for one of those companies that paid like 15k per employee to spend like half a day figuring out which of 5 types you are. Somehow I got all 5 and confused quite a few people.
Pretty emotional for a T
Pretty judgemental for a P.
lol that’s so stupid.
And the Myers-Briggs isn’t even a good one. Those two ladies just made it the fuck up during World War 2, based on some Carl Jung book. It has no predictive power.
While I agree those ladies were a bunch of loonies, I don’t think the test is supposed to be predictive (this is how you will be), rather descriptive (this is how you are).
Although I’ve had this same argument with people over the function of dictionaries being descriptive (this is how words are used) rather than prescriptive (this is how you should use words).
I don’t think this is comparable to descriptivism and prescriptivism in linguistics.
The predictive power of a classification doesn’t have anything to do chronological order of what you are now and how you will develop, but about if knowing one thing (the MBTI) allows to deduce another (age, socioeconomic status, interests, vocational suitability, whatever). In other words predictive power is about correlations and testable outcomes.
If a psychological test leads to a result that does not predict other statistical values about a person, it does not actually capture anything that person is, at least nothing that’s verifiable or falsifiable.
And if it’s not verifiable or falsifiable we might as well use zodiac signs.
A girl canceled a date once because I’m not on Facebook or anything else. (I asked her out in person).
She combed through socials as a kind of background check and interpreted my absence as suspicious. Modern problems.
What’s interesting is that both perspectives are valid. Of course she could have asked why you don’t have social media, and when you spout off about privacy and big tech then she would cancel for a different reason.
Or you’d spend a nice weekend configuring a new Gentoo system
Yeah this is legit a thing cheaters do apparently. I just don’t want patients finding my favorite cafe in my likes ok 😭 honestly sometimes my husband pisses me tf off but at least I’m not rummaging in the mystery grab bag anymore.
Internet is a hostile enough place that not having a social media presence is a valid lifestyle. Like, I don’t want to be assumed as a cheater just cause I’m trying to preserve my sanity😭.
