    Can your Myers-Briggs® personality type change over the course of your life? It's a common question and Dr. Rachel Cubas-Wilkinson, Senior Consultant at The Myers-Briggs Company, discusses why people might think their personality type has changed as they better understand themselves and mature. She also shares her own experience of how her upbringing influenced her perception of her personality type as well as later understanding more about true personality type.

    my mbti changes really often, for example during my really depressing adolescence period i was an ISFP, then when i decided to change and get better, i became a social butterfly, very confident of myself i became an ESTP. In a stressing period of school, i was full of tests and i used to stay up the whole night to study bc the only thing that i cared about were my grades, i took the test and i became an ISTJ. School finished, i started going out with some friends like every day and i hated it, things happened with some friends, i started doubting myself, hating everyone, thinking that i'm not enough ecc.. so i became an ISFP again. After weeks of depression i became selfish, intimate, never going out, 24/24 on my phone, not having the energy to do nothing ecc. i'm an INTP right now. Anyways i think that it's normal that the test changes, bc we constantly change the envoirement that we're in changes us and it's impossibile that it doesn't affect us at all. I always try to take the test fairly, i answer the question with what i really feel like in that period of my life and i think this is a great thing to see how we change.

    Yes, it can be situational. My understanding is that teenagers aren't MBTI assessed, as they often will respond with what they think they should be, instead of who they are. Further, I think some people adapt to either family or work dynamics and indicate preferences that aren't who they are. If your corporate culture primarily values NTs, for example, folks may feel pressure to be NTs, because there's payoff in that. (then, they go home and drink or some other coping behavior). I'm so glad that in grad school, we were taught to assess via, MBTI, SII, values and skills inventories.

    Of course someone who represents the The Myers-Briggs Company is going to say it doesn't change, because that would make the test itself unnecessary and invalid for long term psychological evaluation, and wouldn't that loose a lot of money from all those people taking the online test? What a joke. The Psych community (you know those with actual degrees in the science of human psychology) have made MANY valid criticisms of this test and studies have shown that people OFTEN get a different type results on retest.

      By that same logic, wouldn't they want to be able to claim that personality types does change? That way they could charge several times, for each test. What kind of company wants to reduce their customers to one time purchasers? Just a guide on how to change personality types from your particular one to one you want to become would open up a whole category of products people would pay even more for than the tests.

Honestly I think that I was always an intj but I fooled myself to be more like an infp because that is what people expected from me and I wanted to fit in.Also a lot of experiences and events triggered my change in personality ( sorry for my bad English)

    "Although people exhibit a core of stability, they continually change. Certainly, one explanation for the relatively poor long-term reliability of personality tests is that as the individual adjusts to the environment, he or she changes. Indeed, most definitions of intelligence include the ability to adapt or change according to circumstances. The fact is, people change all the time." Chapter 21 of Kaplan & Saccuzzo

    Is it fair to say that a normal person has 75% of whatever trait makes up their MBTI personality type - for example an INFP would on average be 75% I, N, F and P respectively - and as we mature, perhaps through ambition and experience, we balance more out at say 60% of the respective traits - and that environmental factors such as traumatic experiences can have us go 90%+ on certain traits which manifests as personality disorders?

    I was VERY ENFP when I was in primary school like I went to random other children and asked them like « WANNA PLAY WITH ME? » and one of my two ENFP friends right now literally just reminded me one week ago that SHE was the « lonely student » and that I came to her and asked her to play with me. 😂 Today, after a couple of events I think like my parents breaking up, getting lost in the wood and loosing my ex-best friend after she suddenly started to bully me (I became cold and defensive after 1 week and a half and she stopped bullying because I KINDA threatened her in specific ways that could never get ME in trouble but that would scare her) and also the ✨ pandemic ✨ I became INTJ. Really, observing my own behaviours and comparing them to before, I’m most definitely an INTJ like literally though I still remember stuff from my childhood that kind of made me an INTJ like I would ask questions that weren’t « childlike » at all as « What’s beyond the sky? » (Ok yes this one might be kind of) or « What’s infinity? » I mean I don’t know… Not your usual type of child like questions and I also loved learning though I still kind of remember being scared of socializing which now that I think of it is very ironic if I was ENFP…? Unless I went like INTP(1-5 years old)->ENFP(6-10 years old)-> INFJ (11-12 years old) -> INTJ (13- Now/Forever~long time)…? Probably something like that but yeah that’s childhood and teenage years, where we change mostly so I think now I’m permanently INTJ or at least for all the time of my studies. Funny how I went from Extrovert to introvert 😂

    It does change. So if the changes to people's answers depended on what they felt and what the situation was, then it is not a test for personality. I was not disappointed when I knew the MBTI people would defend that their system is sold and undisputed. Can you imagine this company's pool of executives with Phd's, all submitting and embracing the works of someone who isn't even a psychologist LOL. The idea of MBTI can't change, will affect what people really want. Call me crazy, but I have experienced and felt all those 8 identifiers at different times, depending on my knowledge about things, the environment, etc. I believe in the big five. The MBTI is just too ridiculous, and it's childish.
