Why wouldn't they be? Online is not theoretical typically. It is a useful way for recluse's to interact. I have a very strongly ISTJ aunt who in her golden years has become quite the computer granny whiz. There are wonderfully predictable elements to online communication, and the complete freedom to shut things down when needed.

I would tend to agree. One more consideration: tertiary functions can be perfectly strong in individuals. This means that many Sensors can have strongly developed iNtuitive functions and vice versa. People tend to see N and S as on off switches, even though it's easier to accept that everyone has some T and F in them. Every person has an iNtuitive function that they use, just as everyone has a Sensing, Thinking and Feeling function. This is important to remember.
