Thank you for doing this!

You've spoken about the big 5 and it's reliability in most personality studies. What do you think of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator tests?

Sorry if my interpretation or explanation is terrible.

I think the male suicide rate has risen because we're reaching a point in western society where we're very concerned with our place in the world, with our identity, with what our lives are supposed to mean. I think this may not have been such a big issue in the past, before the "death of God". We had structure and rules to tell us our place, our roles in society.

That's not to say that it's bad that we're all seeking our identity, or that we no longer have those structures. But we have to learn to answer those questions for ourselves. If we can't, then we collapse into chaos.
