I think this approach would tend to be more exciting and interesting to people because it is more connected to a person's life.most descriptions given describe functions in rather vague ways instead of using real world examples, which make the MBTI a lot more fun and interesting to someone in tune with the real world
more intuitives would probably find that approach at least interesting as well!
I always thought the bolded was equally, if not more, made up of sp's. Also this environment has a serious case of N worship overall. Of course we are going to want to put an n on anything "creative" or "exceptional".

I just don't get the idea that people have that Sensors can't imagine things and be creative... take a good description of someone or something from a book- a good author can make you smell the leaves that are crunching underfoot, or make you taste and sense the texture of the cake that someone is eating or make you feel the texture of the man's skin as the woman runs her hand across it... the author couldn't describe that without using Se and Si... feel it so intensely that the feeling sticks in your memory, so that you can recall it in such detail as to describe it well to others in the future- that's Sensing![]()
the second one.Is it because since we're a bunch of Ns, that we just like typing other Ns, or is it a bias that makes us want to type people we like as Ns like us?
there are always false vibes. it's our fault for attributing it to N only (and the delusion that they aspire to N enough to fake it.)Are artists putting out false N vibes of appearing "deep" and introspective?
I'm starting to think that more needs to be done with MBTI in regards to sensors. A lot of the inutitor talk and biased tests/descriptions has really been detrimental for you guys. I wish that everyone would feel fulfillment and satisfaction in discovering their type rather than it be something you have to come to terms with. It really sucks that you've been made to feel that way.I don't think we're over-assigning tremendously if we're looking at the population who actually post on this forum. While members might have an incorrect type at the beginning, over time they'll probably figure out what their true type is as they delve deeper into the theory.
I know for myself... I went through all the IXSX types before finally arriving at ISFJ. It took reading the profile several times, for all of it to finally click together. Reading up about functions only helped cement my understanding. While at times I wished to be an INFJ for the reasons mentioned earlier, what I wish for and what I am are two totally different matters. It doesn't really matter anymore.
People who are honest with themselves and seek to understand themselves will eventually find their true type. People here are more likely to be interested in seeking out the truth about their personality than others, so I figure it's not totally inaccurate.
I guess if you really want to figure out things statistically. Just use the members with +100 or +200 to determine the population.
Intuitors just tend to be attracted to sites like this much more than sensors. We might have a bit of an N bias because we're Ns, but rest assured the majority of people here are Ns anyway, so it's no biggie.About 25% of people are Ns, but in these threads, N gets assigned to about 75% of people, it seems. Introversion too, a lot. Is it because since we're a bunch of Ns, that we just like typing other Ns, or is it a bias that makes us want to type people we like as Ns like us?
Are artists putting out false N vibes of appearing "deep" and introspective, but are not?
Intuition is not synomunous with art nor with insight.
Something else.. To be famous you have to be an oppurtunist often requiring stepping all over other people and being VERY aware of what's going on NOW
And as mentioned in OP.. if sensors make up 75% of the population then They make up 75% of population and that includes famous people.
Just my 2 cents on the issue
this is really poor logic. one general population claim doesn't map onto smaller, more specific populations in perfect proportion.
and the ""requiring stepping all over other people" is not true either. there are many examples of highly intuitive bands who have done things in a way that has been conscious of their ecological footprint, so to speak, aware of the way they effect others.
also, intuition does have the capacity to produce a unique kind of insight. it's synonymous with the imagination, that's why it's NOT concrete. it's imagining something in the mind's eye, playing with it, simulating it internally, rather than focusing on what lies before you in terms of tangible, sensible objects. it abstracts because it can combine information from a wide variety of sources (in different domains), or process information from a wide variety of sources, simultaneously. it allows a smooth scaling when dealing with symbolic information, understanding how information can relate without spelling it out. it's the intuitive leap, you don't have to show your work, you can find a way to make them meaningful by imagining possibilities for meaningful connection and meaningful difference.

NO it is not poor logic.. You simply do not relate to it.. Someone who sees the bigger picture would understand how small and insignificant their own opinion truly is, and would qualify that everytime they expressed it.
You express your opinion as fact.. I do not.. I leave my opinion open to being wrong or limited by my own perceptions.
I would never say YOU are wrong.. only offer an alternative possiblity.
Just look at our interaction concerning Leonard Cohen and tell me I am the one closed to possibilities .
