On the forum to which maxpot46 is referring, Lucid called maxpot46 preachy. Yeah, I know… alert the media, and start the impeachment of Obama!
Anyway, I thought it was rich that an INTJ on an INTJ forum called another INTJ ‘preachy’.
<------Also an INTJ type.
Man, what’s with all the INTJ’s? We need more Es.
ENTJ- if I wasn’t a libertarian I’d be a dictator in waiting.
ENFP; no impressive list of famous libertarians, but i guess the individualistic and anti-bureaucratic tendencies do the deal -;))
Hmm, now that i think about it: it might explain my annoyment at (any type, Randian or not) of objectivism -;))
I am one who thinks it is pretty much crap. My guess is men almost always classify themselves as T’s and women as F’s. I would also guess most people classify themselves as E’s, since extraverts are looked upon favorably in society. I don’t remember the specifics about the other two categories, but I know one of them has to do with whether you see the big picture or not, and my guess is that most people classify themselves as big picture people.
However, it has been my experience that almost everyone is actually an I, and that E’s are extremely annoying. It has also been my experience that just about everyone is a small picture person, but being big picture is considered smarter, so people claim they are big picture.
Max,
All apologies for being an annoying woman wanting to look smarter than she is!
Just kidding - not sure myself whether it’s accurate or not -;))
Well most tests I’ve done aren’t that accurate but using their analytical framework I think it correct that I’m an ENTJ and I think everyone I personally know would beak that assesment up.
There’s a bit more to it than that. People don’t really classify themselves… there is a test involved, then you have to be honest as you examine your possible types and determine the one that best fits you.
You’re right that men are mostly Ts (about 2/3) and that women are mostly Fs (about 2/3). Also, most people are Ss (Sensors, i.e. those that prefer to take in information from the external world with their senses, about 3/4) as opposed to Ns (iNtuitives, i.e. those that prefer to take in information from the internal world with their imaginations, about 1/4).
However, the personality axis’ are pretty well-written in the sense that one isn’t obviously “better” than the other. Usually, each type comes away thinking their own type is just awesome, so there isn’t as much of the “I wish I was that type so I’ll pick a dishonest answer” sort of thing as you might think.
