Validated how?
I'm sure this has already been said, but if N-types really make up only 25% of the population, they should accommodate S-types more than S-types accommodate them.
Then again, the word "accommodate" seems a little bit off here.
Ugh, I have so many mean and not-nice things to vent about this topic but I think instead I'll just say the following:
I'm an S and I've felt a little odd and different all of my life. I suspect though that this is a combination of my having mild Asperger's Syndrome, being an introvert in an extroverted world, and just plain being a human being on this planet. There are a great many times I have been misunderstood by N's and I've had to accommodate them as well.
I'm sorry, but everything the OP has described sounds like things I've had to do as well in my own lifetime so I don't see where he's coming from and I strong suspect this doesn't much to do with N/S and more to do with other variables or factors to be taken into consideration.

Yeah, it's definitely the most logical thing, so I don't blame "the-S-types", but still, it can be quite annoying sometimes imho when people don't even try to see something out of your perspective(not necessarily only in the sense of N vs S, but often). Example: I often have issues getting along with ESTPs. Their jokes are mainly physical/factual, while mines usually are very theoretical and often purely verbal. One ESTP I got to know throwed a burning lighter at me - I were completely baffled why someone should do such a thing and thought at first he would have serious antipathy against me, he on the other side simply meant it as fun. Other way around, when I made a joke about him, he responded angrily "Do you want to insult me?". I get along with him now because we both got that we're different in this topic - I like to stay in the theoretical realm and only switch to the physical reality if it's necessary, he likes to stay in the physical reality and only switches to theory if really necessary. But many ESTPs I met simply weren't aware of this difference and thought I wouldn't like them, so they don't like me now, purely because of a misunderstanding.
Keirsey actually classifies types into Preemptive, Contending, Collaborating, and Accommodating. The "Accommodating" ones are ISFP, ISFJ, INTP, and INFP in Keirsey terms.lol...this thread is silly...whether the S or N is more accomodating depends on the individual N or S....maybe some *types* of people are less accomodating than others, and it has nothing to do with the N/S line...I think FPs in general are fairly accomodating...my ESFP mother is very accomodating...on the other hand, my ISTJ grandfather could be a beligerent, judgmental asshole who insisted that math was the right thing to be good at, not literature or art!
Then again, an ISFJ could be fairly accomodating and sweet, depending on their Fe...so it's not even the J/P divide, either.
Yeah, here is the full breakdown:Then ExFPs are Collaborative? I would think Collaborative and Accomodating would be the easiest to get along with.
The Accomodating ones make sense, too.
Yeah, here is the full breakdown:
Preemtping: ESTP, ESTJ, ENTJ, ENFJ
Contending: ISTP, ISTJ, INTJ, INFJ
Collaborating: ESFP, ESFJ, ENTP, ENFP
Accommodating: ISFP, ISFJ, INTP, INFP
I find it interesting that xSFJ and xNFJ are in such different categories as well as xSTP and xNTP.
I can't find exact definitions right now but "contending" is more similar to "competitive" in this sense. It is more about interaction style I guess. This post on brainsandcareers mentions these terms briefly in breaking down the whole new Keirsey naming scheme where, for example, ENFP is a Diplomatic Collaborator / Advocator where the old term was "Champion." http://brainsandcareers.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=117So contending = chart the course, accomodating = behind the scenes, etc?

Keirsey's latest book uses all the new terms and I haven't read the whole thing yet and am still getting used to the terminology.

Please specify a language."Advocator" isn't a word.
