yeah look i didnt take it but those tests usually scream MALE!!! at me.. and im female.
my mind is definatlety very masculine. ive known this for a long time and my typically-masculine-learning-problems-that-i-shouldn't-have-because-im-a-girl have been overlooked my entire school life, which is a real pain in my ass. i get sick watching teachers pat boys on the back the second they show trouble. i struggled more than most of them and was always ignored, or put in box 'unknown' and hence ignored. im better at most "man" things than men. there have been amny occasions were ive watched a group of guys, who, and i quote "have a knack for fixing things", struggle with fixing somethign which i figured out almost as soon as i looked at it. (i go back after they were done failing and fix it).
ive never had to rotate a map to read it. i dont follow intructions. out of everyone in my family (including the males) im the best as visual/spatial reasoning and the like. the type of ability it requires to build something, to sculpt, to remember visually, to mentally rotate.
youre hypothesising NT's have masculine thought processes? i dont think you're correct, i think you're confusing it with masculine emotion-ness. sure N's like whole picutres but mbti doesn't dictate their methods of thought, just the thoughts purpose. NT#1 is wondering about the whole picture but their thoughts are in words. NT#2 also wonders about the whole picture but thinks in pcitures.
NT#1 talks alot more, is analytical, does better in school, does better at timed tasks and essays but cant read a map, hates subjects like technical drawing, is less likely to understand mathematical relationships between forces, etc.
NT#2 communicates more with body language and actions rather than words, has trouble communicating their thoughts, probably hates school and can't demonstrate their intelligence, does well at phsyics and advanced math, can double back over a path after only travelling that way once before, etc.
men or "masculine" minded people don't listen because they don't think in words.
women or "feminine" minded people don't/can't read maps because they don't think in picutres.
there's a pciture i saw somewhere and i thought it was very demonstrative. it was of two people who were each building an aeroplane. one following the instructions, not knowing how it was going to turn out. they were doing it step by step. the other hadn't concidered the intructions but had a thought bubble over their head of what the finished plane would look like, and had already finished it.
whoops, sorry.
*end hateful rant.*
