Can you spot a type?

Is anyone else able to "read" what someone's MBTI profile is just by hanging out with them for a few days?

And when you figure out someone's type, what do you usually do with that information?

I can usually differentiate the some letters within the people, but not completely type them.

Same here, except for people that I'm close to. Once I figure out someone's type, I usually get a better feel for how to interact with them, what kind of things they may potentially like/dislike, and, if they're a guy, whether or not we'd be compatible. XD

I think I'm getting better at typing people. Some, it's very easy for me. Others it's extremely hard. I find I have a hard time typing the ISxx's for some reason. But after mistakes with them, it's getting easier to recognize. I also mix up T and F sometimes, for some reason. But most people are dynamic, so I can see why that would happen.

I can spot an SJ like nobody's business, especially an ESTJ.

I'm actually pretty bad at typing. Sometimes I'm spot-on, but more often than not, I'm completely wrong. Someone I thought was an INTP turned out to be an ESFJ. =P But yeahh, like others have said, it's useful to understanding how to interact with the other person optimally.

There are really only two types of people in the world for me:

1. Do you irritate me?
2. Do I find you irritant-free?

That's it and yes.... I can find out someone's type very, very quickly.

I'm good with F/T...P/J is usually extremely easy xD
I think E/! is pretty easy...I'm really good with figuring out people though

I'm good at figuring out E/I. But other than that, I can't type anyone really. Though I can figure out within about 30 seconds of meeting someone whether or not I will get along with them.

I'm weird >.<
I can usually get along with pretty much everyone...it's just that special connection that's hard to find hehe
