Any reason why you think this would be so?
I've quit an otherwise excellent job over frustration with mindful repetition?

Heh heh, fair enough... but just saying - without a normal distributions it is very hard to say if a job is "of that type".
If anything, STJs are under represented relative to corporate breakdowns while NTJs are over represented. (Although there is another reason for this, but anyway.)
But back to the main point. STPs as accountants? HELL NO.
It's my thread, please continue the derail.![]()
IQ distribution... You really want that kind of a derail?![]()
(I meant the statement No, but they're very relevant for degree of job satisfaction as an accountant. might not apply to all Ns, so it might not be correct to say entirely... or rather that the TJ traits dominate the N/S trait)
... But I would like to know if NTJs are more likely to become accountants than STJs when you control for corporate representation?
In short, INTJs prefer accounting roughly as much as they prefer any of the higher positions - that can be read in all sorts of ways. INTJs use accounting to get in, or the ones that are there couldn't move up or whatever, but there you go. INTJs chose accounting significantly.
...
Regardless, no matter how you slice it, INTJs represent far far more than they should.... more than ISTJs do, be it from a total population, corporate or corporate level POV.
Did I miss something... Where is this data coming from?
It looks like maybe this is inferring that INTJ's prefer accounting as much as other positions because there are a disproportionate number of them in the field relative to the total number of them employed with a corporation. Just because they're in an accounting position doesn't mean they prefer it.![]()
That's a hefty percentage for Dominant, Falcarius - you sure you're a P?![]()
We find over a five-year period using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) a consistently high STJ preference of 35-46% exists which is much greater than the US national average of 19%. We need a better mix of personality NOW.
This article on the unusually high percentage of STJs in Australian accounting is interesting.

You are a Mastermind!
(Submissive Introverted Abstract Thinker)
You are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this scheming.
Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader -- you've definitely got the vision thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.
Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.
