Here's what I've been able to gather about sensor bias:
1. The way that sensing is described in the MBTI tends to be much less flattering than intuition.
2. Because of this, 90% of people who take the test, when presented with a question asking them to choose between an intuitive and sensing response, will go with the intuitive response.
3. (I suspect that) because of this, the only people who are actually going to score as a sensor on the test will be the most extreme possible versions of their respective sensor type and probably not all that fun for a lot of people to deal with. Thus, the negative sensor stereotype is re-enforced.
Now, a few questions:
-Are there any tests that correct the sensor bias?
-Is there a good estimate of how many intuitives are actually mistyped sensors?
-Could you actually flip this around and design a test that has an anti-intuitive bias rather than an anti-sensor bias? What would the people who actually manage to score as intuitive on that test look like in contrast to the ISTJ accountant, ESFP cheerleader, etc?
