I came across this episode of the Shark Tank and was surprised by the outcome. I assume that most business tycoons are E*TJs, by default, regardless of gender. It is my understanding that, statistically, more women are (subjective) Feelers and more men are (objective) Thinkers, according to typology theory. What I found interesting from watching this, is that the only woman seems to be more objective in her judgement than the four males. All of the "sharks" admit that the product is fantastic, possibly the best one they've seen on the show, and worth investing in; but the men succumb to their irritation of the gentleman pitching his idea because they are angry at his presentation, rather than sticking to the objective matters of the negotiation. They are more focused on how upset he makes them feel and they even try to dissuade the woman from making a deal by exaggerating the "disrespect" that he's showing her. She's the only one who has enough patience to put her emotions aside. Throughout the whole discourse, she is focused on the product and how she can use it to her own benefit and the men are whining about how they don't like him. Interesting...
