This isn’t meant to be a negative post. I wanted to tweak how I handle some things and have gotten better but I it made me think.

Could you turn someone 360 completely? Like from a freak to a mighty, a chad to a chud, a person to a stealers fan?

Not properly.

Many theories suggest people have their main personality but it's possible to mimic other ones in certain scenario.

If you want to go deeper search for Jung's cognitive functions, also MBTI is good as an initial approach on the theme ( also [email protected] ).

Myers Briggs is thoroughly debunked.

It's the most accessible theory, nothing more.

Accessible debunked ideas are not a useful baseline.

Flat earth is more accessible, too.

Flat earth isn't based on Jung. Do you studied cognitive functions? MBTI is still based on that, like Socionics.
