Just curious. I’m an introvert. I do not like socializing. I do not root for any specific sports team, but enjoy watching sports like football. In general, I do not watch much movies or TV - although I have to watch TV sometimes to put me to sleep. I enjoy reading non-fiction books. I have no religious belief. I also suffer from OCD. I feel I’m different from most people. Do other libertarians share some of these traits?
There seems to be a tendency for libertarians to be “Rationals”, in the Myers-Briggs typology. At least in my experience.
Not very social myself either, but I doubt there’s any common personality type we share other than being more focused on logical reasoning than most people.
That’s cool
I like to whip it out, people are drawn to me…
I enjoy a Futbol game, but I enjoy watching teams of great ability…
My television is there for no reason…
I eat books
Mine are private
I do not suffer
Many live in the wake of my presence…
Do you any idea of the specific types? I would guess INTP and INTJ would be pretty common. Though keep in mind that not all libertarians post on message boards, which tend to represent the introverted thinking types much more than any other medium.
INTPs and INTJs are definitely over-represented on the Internet (I’m INTP myself). But most of the libertarians that I have met apart from online interaction seem to be Rationals as well. Again, this is just in my experience.
