I'm not sure that this should be just a redirect. I've commented about this on the MBTI talk page and called for consistency in the way we treat the different types. They should really either all be articles (or stubs until more detailed articles get written) or else they should all redirect to the MBTI page. Given that ISTP and INFJ already have articles about them I don't see why the same can't be true of other types. Jammycakes 21:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, too. The article should not be deleted. JKW 14:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[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.

this is the description of the INFP, not ENFP, as found on http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/.

[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) 03:49, 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) 15:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
