Well, you generally don't tell your whole life story to someone you just met at a nightclub. Or the cashier, for that matter.

What does that have to do with NTPs using statistics?
Ti means that they're going to go out looking significantly less
Again, that's not what NTPs have been doing in this forum. And thank christ for that or I'd call some of them morons. Wait . . .
Source? There aren't enough TJs posting on this forum to compare to, really, and the FPs that I see are doing it about the same. FJs sometimes less, sometimes more.
But it's a little ironic that you're trying to get me on those grounds given this post.
Get you? I just think you are talking out of your ass, that's all. There are years of posts in this forum made by NTPs. They have no problem "going out" as you call it.
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

That source is not unknown, it is Mark Twain.

i could continue, but i think i have presented enough to express my view...
From Google:
The term was popularised in United States by Mark Twain (among others), who attributed it to the British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
do you think google has done more research into this than the detailed and well thought out article i linked?
The idea itself was first put in print in 1891 and was attributed to Eliza Gutch.
However, the definitions of Ti and Te, which you would know as someone who has read Jung, would suggest that Te types would be more inclined, to some degree, to use external measuring sticks to validate their ideas, which would in this day and age be statistics. This doesn't mean Ti types won't do it, but they'll do it a bit less often.
