Default Which personality types are prone to drug addiction?

OK, I've made some initial assessments based upon my observation of others and I think the following has a tendency for each type:

ENTP/INTP/INFP/ISFP: marijuana

INFJ/ENFJ/ESFJ: cocaine, speed

INTJ/ENTJ/ISTJ/ESTJ: alcohol

ENFP: anti-anxiety meds coupled with ecstasy

ISFJ I've noticed is the only type that doesn't seem to have a predisposition towards any addictions- they like healthy living, exercise etc.

Wow! I assumed that all the SPs would be in there! Interesting.

I also think that computers and Internet should be labeled a drug, because they are very addicting. I tend to think that INTP and INTJs are the most prone to computer addiction...unless you have an alternative theory.

I've actually never tried marijuana or cocaine. I only have alcohol once in a while -- don't like the taste of it much. (But with that said, I'm addicted to Mountain Dew.)

INTPs/INTJs like systems so computers would be part of their lifestyle. I'm talking about addiction, not necessarily certain obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

INFJs and drugs don't really mix.

But since Freud, a classic INFJ, was a cocaine buff, I can't really completely dismiss the association.

Neurotic INFJs are often quite paranoid, so cocaine addiction wouldn't surprise me.

Cocaine manufactures paranoia, and neurotic INFJs are sometimes quite paranoid.

No! I think INFJs manufacture enough of their own paranoia. They don't need a drug to do it for them.

Interesting. N dominance can also lead people to think they are right about something when they are not, and not integrate the viewpoints of others.
