It's amazing how brilliant and wonderful INTs (and NFs to a lesser extent, lol) can be and do things that are so unappreciated from a sensor perspective, but on the other hand, have the toughest time with simple social tasks, events, and interactions. I mean, literally, we are probably the most socially retarded and clumsy folk.
If you look at the statistics "NT's",are generally the least populated type with Sjs and SPs being at the top. It seems as though a strong "sensing" function is/was beneficial to the survival of our species. Maybe in a 100 years from now the "sensing" types will be the least popular and the NT's types would become the dominant personality type.
I would strongly disagree with that last part. It would probably take a LOT longer (like a millennium, at least) since modern civilization is leaning toward a very uncritical, incompetent, illiterate, conformist, id-driven, shamelessly self-promoting, and materialistic lifestyle. I'm thinking like a Terminator 2 Judgment Day future, lol, where things have to rebuilt and humanity can only place their trust on logic and reason is where the NT(maybe NFs) will one day reign supreme. No, I'm not one of those conspiracy theorists; I really don't care that much since I won't be there (unless cryogenics works out). There's more, but I don't feel like listing all the problems of the modern age. It seems everyone can be a celebrity now and since we live on the internet, the plethora/speed of communication & imagery that smashes down on us is geared toward such an Se culture: expect a lot of SPs and more SJs in the near future w/ gnat-like attention spans and a total lack of appreciation for all things abstract, curious, and peculiar...I always imagine when I am older how people will look back at our culture and think of it as "old-fashioned," which is kind of frightening. For the NTs, expect an even more loner lifestyle.
Me thinks the great time for NTs would probably Ancient Greece and possibly the Age of Enlightenment era. Nothing but the intellectual rock-star lifestyle: booze, women, hedonism, and free-flowing ideas = plus, you got paid and taken care of.
Sometimes it's quite frustrating being an "N" when most people misplace their time and interests in things that are pointless and irrelevant. But there's a hell of a lot more
suckers followers, which sort of makes me even feel more unique as an individualist, even though it does have its obvious downsides. But what does it matter in the grand scheme of things, right?
