What is the most paranoid type?

[Kiddo]

I tend to be a very suspicious and skeptical person and I'm curious if that is just an introverted trait. Is there any correlation between personality type and paranoia? If there is, what would be the most paranoid type?

It depends on what someone is getting paranoid about. (All types get paranoid to some degree... just about different things.)

I think many of the "conspiracy theorist" types do seem to mesh well with ISTJ, however (go on the 'net and look around at who is putting up hackneyed sites about all these sorts of things)... and their weakest function would be Ne, which lends itself to that.

I'm too much of a skeptic to be a true conspiracy theorist. I'm not closed to the ideas, but I'm not going to worry anymore than I have to. I'm usually paranoid about how people feel about me or what they might be thinking about me. Is that typical paranoia for an NF?

Js. Every paranoid person I've met has been a strong J. Differing types of it, and probably also to do with emotional stability, but I have never met a paranoid P.

Having said that, conspiracy theories seem to come from Ps... just without the paranoid (more the "I can't believe you fell for that man" as compared to "They are coming for me, they are coming for me!").

That's not being paranoid, that's having low self-esteem, being insecure and being self-conscious.

Jennifer.
I am dissappointed.
You are usually extremely clear headed.

A paranoid gets paranoid about everything.
The very idea of paranoia.
The subject matter does not count.

Leonard made a song of a crushed marriage.
Find the song.
Listen to the words.

It is there.

Read Nikita Sergeyevich.
It is all translated in English.

He tells the story no one told before.

Exactly.

The conspiracy theorists may be wrong.
Not always.

Propaganda is a one way street.

SS is really something quite different.
