I was reading a discussion on INTPcentral about INTP's joining the military. Several INTP's who had spent time in the military said INTP was probably the worst fit. Which got me wondering
What is the worst type [as in worst fit] for the military?
My top 4: INFP, ISFP, INTP, ENFP
INTP: "This makes no sense and is poor Ti", but at least they are T's
ISFP: "My values tell me not to hurt alive things, I'm gonna go tend to my plants now", but at least they are S's.
ENFP: "If we just thought outside the box and were willing to try this new cool idea I'm sure everything would be great" but at least they are E's
INFP: The military is generally considered an ESTJ environment, or perhaps ISTJ. "My values tell me not to take life, now I'm gonna go sit underneath a tree by myself and contemplate the meaning of life"
I've gotta go with one of the I_FP's personally.
