Give us some of your made-up collective nouns for MBTI types. Anything goes. To start us off:

A snipe of INTPs
A drift/mosey of INFPs
An insurgency of INTJs
A frolic of ENFPs
A hustle of ESTJs

Based purely on superficial stereotypes of course.

I always liked the description of a group of crows, so I claim it in the name of INTPdom:

A murder of INTPs.

You beat me to it. I use that for the collective noun from programmers. Seems appropriate when you force nerds to work together.

You're just thumbing throught the dictionary and randomly adding words!

I however, got mine from wikipedia.

-A parliament of INTJ's. (taken after a group of owls)
-A revolution of ESFP's. (taken after a group of lemmings, no offense to any ESFP's, I just wanted the polar opposite of my type.)

A circumscription of ISTJs

Parliament makes me think of Funkadelic and/or cheap cigarettes, which are about as far from INTJ as I can imagine. But the concept of using the name of a group of owls for a group of INTJs is sound, I can't deny it. :)

Good old P-Funks. In retrospect, an old friend of mine who loved both the band and the cigarettes would probably be classed as an EXFP. I'm not really sure what this means, let me think on it.

Rather, you're unfamiliar with a) the words and b) the reflective and humorous relationships between them and each type, so assume that I did what you would be forced to do.

:laugh: I recognize most of the correlations. I am less familiar with the ones that increasingly opposite my own because I haven't devoted much time to learning about those ones, yet. I made that statement because of the nature of the words being relatively uncommon.

I personally liked the encomium of ENFJs!
