The sexiest, most evil, most likely to prosper, best to have sex with, eats green eggs and ham with nakes on a plane.......stop it!:hi:

These threads are what we allude to when someone says " There's no such thing as a stupid question. "

Stereotypically, yes ; a feeler will like romantic things.
But saying a thinker doesn't even have emotions, or that an SF is a better lay is just lazy thinking.
I for one know that thinkers can be incredibly caring, and SJs who love science fiction and fantasy more than i do... but their approach to these things are merely different, not better or worse for that matter.

Each type is capable of everything, but not as inclined to do so naturally as another. All types can reach the same conclusion in the same field of study, but will come to that 5th paragraph in a very different way.

What it is at risk is the death of the individual.
Sure, we definitely have an MBTI type, but we also have our own minds and feelings about things.
The damn thing was made by a human, and is only 70% accurate - and that figure is from a human, so it is not spot on.

If you do decide to make one of these threads, make sure you replace your manque " the best/ worst " fudge-nugget with " more inclined to "
Better yet, " how would an XXXX approach this using their functions vs. XXXX " and so on

Sermon ended. Thank you for reading.

Don't take it so seriously. Discussion would not be so lively if we just agreed that everyone is capable of the same things in equal measure as someone else. That being said, I get what you're saying. Generalization always leads to the neglect of actuality.

Why is MBTI still referred to as boxes? They're called preferences for a reason.

They aren't meant to be taken seriously, but a joke is only funny so many times. They do get old. They are like the "knock knock jokes" of MBTI. I have a suspicion that alot of people actually think along those lines though. They do simplify types and it comes up in the more serious discussions with assumptions added to responses. Some people can separate the jest from reality, but some think the jest is funny because it is "true".
