I don't have a favorite subject -- I like communication/writing, I like science, I like psychology, I like cultural/religious studies, and I like other subjects that all intermingle with those subjects.

There's no real separation of subjects in my head, since all of them impact the other in terms of getting a better understanding of the Way The World Works. (Maybe that last bit is a better description of my "favorite subject" -- the Big Picture of life.)
I like quoting people instead of having to type my own response. +1

I voted English. But for me it's a two way tie between English and Science. History following closely behind.

Math then science. Or science then math.

How about Thermodynamics II and Control Systems Design? (favorite college classes - I think that would be both?)

By Science, I mean Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, etc. all in one category because I don't have that many poll options.

I couldn't decide between science and maths, so I chose science since my college major was chemistry (nearly did enough maths to count as a major as well).

Lol I'm the only NF that prefers science. I made straight A's in every science class I've ever taken... I love it, what can I say?

I would've chosen science since I really love organic chemistry and molecular biology, but I loathe inorganic chemistry, physics, and pretty much all other sciences. Oh yeah, and I want to see who voted :)

Well then I'd choose Science maybe. But I also like History quite a bit. Not the Si kind of history though. I take the Ne approach. For me it's what's NOT there that I find really interesting in terms of mental exercise. Connecting the dots and admiring it for it's subjectivity and not it's objectivity alone.

I love English, but just the writing portion.

I've never been into traditional lab sciences, too much attention to detail and general annoyance. I find physics really interesting though.

This is probably true for me too when I studying independently. When I had to learn things as part of a class I found some classes more efficient than others in figuring the world out though. I ranked Math highest in the poll, but I would probably put Chemistry and Physics just as high though. On the other hand Biology spends a good chunk of time putting things into categories instead of just theorizing, and a lot of Psychology is just common sense. So taking Science as a whole I had to rank Math higher. I also found the quality of my History classes varied greatly depending on my instructor.

Don't get me wrong though, I find all subjects interesting but some seem like you are learning more than others.

I ranked History first (for being completely awesome), followed by Math (for being completely awesome up until I took AP Calculus, and failing to be awesome by then), then English (for involving reading some awesome books, despite the essay-writing part, which was the opposite of awesome), and then Science in last place (for only being awesome outside of class).

It's hard for me to clearly answer to your question, but this site can help you, there's many interesting data in, Facts About the 16 Myers-Briggs.


I've find this:

Academic subjects preferred:

ISTJ: math, practical skills
ESTJ: math, practical skills
ISFJ: practical skills
ESFJ: ?

ISTP: math, practical skills
ESTP: history, math, practical skills
ISFP: practical skills
ESFP: history

INFJ: art, English, music
ENFJ: art, English, music
INFP: art, English, music
ENFP: art, English, music

INTJ: science
ENTJ: English, science
INTP: art, science
ENTP: art, science

The commons characteristics between the types are:

S: pratical skills

ST: math, practical skills

Se: history

NF: art, English, music

ENJ: English

NT: science

NP: art

Poll should have been multi-option.

NT Science (Chem + Bio, NOT Physics) and English.

Me as an ENTP my favorite subjects are: Music, art, math, science, English and writing, history, and languages.

I can't choose one! They are all so great!

I love history, all parts of it. Although sometimes it gets me all angry, especially when studying American history.
