[edit] Type Descriptions
I just deleted the descriptions on all of these personality types. A lot of them were copyvios from different sources, several of them being from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/ , where they may or may not have been copied from other locations. Nonetheless, the three theories of MBTI, Keirsey Temperaments, and Socionics are quite different and require different descriptions of types, functions, relations, and other concepts. Socionics especially differs from the other two. The three theories should all be expanded upon in Wikipedia, but it is impossible to do this while there is a conglomeration of these three theories and they are treated as one and the same.

[edit] Article Material is Copied
The description under Keirsey Characteristics is directly copied from http://keirsey.com/personality/sjit.html and should be rewritten. —Preceding unsigned comment added 23:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- The material now differs from what's at that link. ThreeOfCups (talk) 04:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Page Redirect
This page is a redirect from ISTJ. Yet all the other MBTI types are named according to the four-letter type rather than the description. For consistency, shouldn't this page be titled ISTJ? Ajwenger 01:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging → ISTJ — I propose that the article be moved to conform with the titling style of all other articles in Category:MBTI types. All of these articles use the acronym forms, and, moreover, "ISTJ" currently redirects to this article, so it is free for the taking. —Severa (!!!) 10:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
Support As Ajwenger said, all the other MBTI types are named according to the four-letter type rather than the description. For consistency, this page should be titled ISTJ. =) Panzer V Panther 11:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
[edit] Cognitive functions
I made some wording changes to this section for clarity. I'm planning to make these same changes to the articles for the other types, unless anyone disagrees that this version is clearer. I look forward to your input. Thanks! ThreeOfCups (talk) 04:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Templates
I created templates for text that's the same across all 16 type articles to eliminate the hours of work it takes to update the same text 16 times. This is a recommended use for templates according to Wikipedia policy WM:TEMP.
To edit the templates:
1. Click the Edit link on the section of the article you want to change.
2. Select and copy the title of the template page (the text between the double braces).
3. Paste the copied text into the Wikipedia search box and press Go (not Search).
This will take you to the template. Make sure that the changes you make to the templates are appropriate for all 16 type articles! (INFJ, ESTP, etc.) ThreeOfCups (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling of Extraversion
The MBTI, Keirsey Temperament Sorter, and related Jung Typology assessments use the original spelling, Extraversion, rather than the modern corruption, Extroversion. In this context, Extraversion is jargon and should be thus spelled. ThreeOfCups (talk) 15:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
