MacGuffin. He has an N bias in the way I described. I thought of him because of my type thread and him saying istp, or intp the best type. He just feels his N rocks and why not? It makes perfect sense to have a bias towards yourself.
One person cannot affect the graph. But you sound as if this N-bias is a widespread phenomenon. They were using the same kind of argument on the IQ poll thread where the 132-145 category was so high.
There are certain ways to criticize a poll. Researchers can be biased, and poll questions can be biased. But there are also known degrees of uncertainty in any poll study. It's necessary to establish what those degrees are, and just saying people are biased is not the right way to go about it because we all know this already.
By the way, I am a long-time Intuitive with a well-established IQ of 135 based on both online and offline testing, so that cancels out the MacGuffin bias. I'm not a pure intuitive, I'm just saying that I am more intuitive than sensor.
