    I think to a lot of people things like astrology, Myers Briggs types and rock magic are mostly an aid that helps them to more easily process what they’re thinking and feeling, and also feel as though they have an outlet for those thoughts and feelings.

    9 out of 10 times, they know its not “real”, you’re not really achieving much by yucking their yum. I say this as someone who doesn’t believe in or engage with any of those things.

    (I also fully acknowledge that the tweet is a double whammy joke that puts the author in on it as well)

      These intentions are all well and good until an employer requires you to take a Myers Briggs test and you’re turned down from a job because of it. I don’t have any issue with someone reading their horoscope to try and understand their own feelings and emotions, I have a pretty massive issue with anyone trying to use pseudoscience nonsense to make serious decisions.
