Do you believe alternative medicine such as Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, etc. are worthwhile approaches for dealing with health and disease? If the answer is "no", then you're not comfortable with these systems of medicine for whatever reason.
It depends. Alternative medicine can be good, because it has often a very limited downside and a large upside in terms of effects (something Nassim Taleb calls convex payoff). If I eat some herb, for example: It might have some benefits, while the side effects, at worst, are maybe some stomach irritation. Modern medicine often deals remedying small problems with huge potential side effects (like taking pain killers for headaches while exposing yourself to the risk of stomach ulcers or even worse, cancer etc). Modern medicine seems still to be in its infancy. For example in Taleb's "Antifragile" he writes that the amount people dying from iatrogenesis is about 3 times the number of people killed by the most deadly type of cancer. About 100 years ago your would in general decrease your chances of surviving by going to a doctor. In general I have not much against alternative medicine, as long as it remains honest to how much it actually works. So I am "comfortable with" (a term you seem to be very fond of) alternative medicine as long as it does not come up with nonsense theories and stays convex.
Do you value religious teachings of any kind? Again if the answer is "no", then you are presumably not comfortable with those either.
Do you find typology to be useful to you in understanding yourself and other? This includes not just MBTI, but Jungian analytical psychology that has not been empirically validated as of yet...
What do all these things have in common? They have not been scientifically validated (except for MBTI, which does have a large number of studies supporting it). I'm saying if you dismiss them outright because of that, you're missing out. That's all.
I don't value religious teachings of any kind, for epistemological reasons pretty much outlined in this thread. It tries to infer too much from too little, it tries to reduce the sum of all the unknown to a simple system that resonates with the human psyche. To me that is simply not interesting, I am more interested in truth than deluding myself into a state of well-being.
I find MBTI useful as a way of categorising one's own tendencies. Some of its categorization seems to work really well. A lot of its inferences based on its theory, however, do not. Again it seems like an attempt to infer too much from too little.
So as you can see, I think your way of categorising things (and people), and the inferences you make based on these categorizations, is somewhat misguided and crude. As mentioned, maybe it is possible you have inferred too much from too little?
