we have proportions of personality types, great. now.. WHY are they in the proportions they are? certainly as complex as the world is and the interactions are, i will just postulate that it is not random deviation, but i will hypothesize there are certain factors of "selection" if you will. of all the infinite number of possible reasons and forces, i'm limiting it to the most significant of factors. for example, let's say... strategic types have rigid principles (more so than others), and thus clash with each other and tend to indirectly wipe out the important thinkers thru governments. thus an example of a selective factor, explaining the population ratios. what do you guys think some significant factors are, in explaining why personality ratios are the way they are? also important to note: there is a certain hereditary influence in your personality as well. it's not completely random out of 16 for every birth. | ||

INTJ's are roughly 2% of the population, similarly, the vast majority of libertarians are INTJ's, which just so happen to fall in with the RTS crowd :p Also, the majority of CS majors and other associated fields tend to be majoritarian INTJ. INTJ's are your logical, worldly view (As in, looking at the whole, and deducing what an action will cause throughout the effect chain). << INTJ Add me to the list lol. wow, is that true that libertarians are mostly INTJ? how did u find that out? i am also libertarian! =] also would u know of a complete population proportions? of the 16 types, what percentage they are of hte population. | ||

People have more than one aspect of their personality, and a lot of this is dependant on mood aswell I don't think you give it enough credit; it's really quite clever. The reason it's vague is of course because people are really so different. The mind is far too complicated to simplify perfectly into 4 dichtomys, but it's a good attempt. It's about what mindset you favour in most circumstance. That doesn't mean you're incapable of thinking in a different way; just that you generally favour one mindest over another. As a comparative tool it's especially interesting since we can begin to see how different mindsets disperse in society. | ||

Probably because these internet tests aren't "official" whatever that means, and have poor phrasing that skew towards one end. It may also be that the internet is full of intuitive introverts. | ||

ENFJ? Are you sure? I know some sites make claims (usually they say thing's like, 1% of americans are....). But that is usually just based on what their respondents have answered. From David Keirsey's Please Understand Me, he gives the following figures: 13% - ESFJ, ESTJ, ESTP, ESFP 6% - ISFJ, ISTJ, ISTP, ISFP 5% - ENTJ, ENFP, ENFJ, ENTP 1% - INTP, INTJ, INFP, INFJ. What's interesting so far from the limited number who have answered this most recent poll is that the IN's and EN's which are traditionally the small introvert and extrovert groups are rated dramatically higher than the S function Is and Es. So far it would seem more Introverts use tl and more N function types. Almost a complete inversion of the rest of society. | ||

Rock definitely. same with Hyungjoon lol... | ||

But being extroverted doesn't mean you have to be loud or talkative. | ||
