We were mostly just being silly. I think it becomes real to a person when they believe it to be truth. Real doesn't necessarily mean right or even that it's the only possibility, it's an idea.

That’s thought provoking. It’s probably because of how similar people are fundamentally that allows us to spot differences and name them. I think the types and astrology are both real, but they are not inherent. I think our over socialization contributes to the formation of types. How many impulses do we hide/suppress.
Oh I absolutely agree with you, no one is going to be completely honest and their true self 100% of the time, society won't allow it. I do believe there are more or less empathetic (one of the big things for determining a personality type). There are a bunch of people who like neat and tidy clear cut lines, like I am such and such type and these are my people because we all do this, I'm "normal". Some people get sucked in to a tribe mentality more than others, maybe it's a survival thing 🤔🤷‍♀️. Unsure. I love doing all the different kinds of personality quiz things, reading horoscopes, Chinese Zodiac...it's fun to see how it does align with how I see myself and how others perceive me. Group settings are so fun for these things.
