Statistics only get you so far, especially when you are basing it on who majors in what.

Online you have self-selection - STs are not interested in most online interaction

In the real world, most of these ISTJs do network administration or software maintenance, which NTs do not like to do, and accounts for at least 95% of the work involved in the industry. Therefore, most of us NTs are really annoyed/bored most of the time.

The most prominent people - the classic "computer hackers" - those that blazed the way to a world where it is possible to train people to just do monotonous maintenance tasks, were and are almost exclusively NTs, particularly INTJs.

Nearly every logic-oriented field will be lead by NTs at first, then the STJs will maintain what we created... The scariest thing in the world is a project that was started/designed by an XSTJ. For the same reason that XSTJ-started/designed projects are scary, I believe at least half of the claimed INTPs and INTJs I've seen online are ISTPs, ISTJs, or some random repressed extrovert...
