The traits of the school of thought are the same as those from the MBTI, except that it adds a fifth circle, which is a "personality" trait. In the school of thought, the circle for "personality" is not a static state, but a fluid, dynamic quality. The circle adapted from the MBTI is static, and the school of thought is dynamic. The school of thought has a fourth circle that is a "type" trait, which is a static quality that is not related to a dynamic quality. The four circles from the MBTI are static qualities, and one of those is a type trait.
In school of thought, the traits are not static qualities, but fluid qualities, and the circle for "type" is a static quality. In school of thought, traits are states of mind that change over time. In MBTI, traits are static, and they have a fixed nature. Therefore, the school of thought is more accurate than MBTI in describing human behavior.
In school of thought, a person may have a fixed nature, but that fixed nature may be changing.
Phrenology is a pseudoscience which involves the measurement of bumps on the skull to predict mental traits. It is based on the concept that the brain is the organ of the mind, and that certain brain areas have localized, specific functions or modules. Although both of those ideas have a basis in reality, phrenology generalized beyond empirical knowledge in a way that departed from science. The central phrenological notion that measuring the contour of the skull can predict personality traits is discredited by empirical research. Developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gall in 1796, the discipline was influential in the 19th century, especially from about 1810 until 1840. The principal British centre for phrenology was Edinburgh, where the Edinburgh Phrenological Society was established in 1820. Phrenology is today recognized as pseudoscience.
