I know highly rational women, and highly irrational men, but, on average, are women more irrational than men?

I think that irrational men are more likely to mask their irrationality behind a bogus wall of 'logic speak', due to what society has taught them. And in a way, it incapacitates them even further, as they often buy their own bullshit and aren t aware they even have blindspots.

Also, :doh: at this thread, dude.

I think that's a pretty rational thought.

I also think highly irrational men tend to stick out regardless.

On average, less logical and more reasonable.

Oh, bullshit.

I'm about as rational as it comes, without becoming overly rational (which is a legitimate problem as well).

Qualifications such as "irrational" and "rational", when applied to people, typically adhere to anecdotal evidence that may or may not speak for someone's true nature...

But is my fear of trolls rational or irrational?

This is irrelevant, as thinking and feeling are both rational functions according to Jung/MBTI.

Actually, you're being kind of irrational.

The way Jung used that term is pretty different than the way it's normally thought of.

There's a reason Keirsey called the NTs the Rationals, and not the NFs.

There is such a thing as too much logic but then again I would say that seeing as though I'm a feeler.

No worries.

As a thinker, I can agree with you.

There's a proper amount of logic that can be applied to any situation: go over it, or under it, and you start slipping into irrationality (over-rationality on one end, and under-rationality on the other).

There is more to the world than just logic and reason.

(don't try to tell that to an INTP, tho :p)
