Britain: ISFP or ISTP > Compared to Germany (which is most likely ISTJ, have never seen such strong introverted sensing in any other country; okay, maybe in Japan) British people are far more easy-going and able to deal with things not being perfect, of course that also results in things being more chaotic and less well-done

im sure there's some bad apples there, just like anywhere else.

are u saying we should type states and cultures by " number of hate cases"? what would be assigned what number of hate cases per 1000 inhabitants you think?

I wasn't thinking about it in relation to mbti type. But how racist a certain society tends to be will probably correlate with J behavior.

Hawaii, I would type as ESFP. That's just a gut reaction guess.

Favoring tradition, conservativeness, status-quo, close-mindedness.... these things are more related to J personalities. And, not that racism is always connected to those things, but it's no stranger to them as well.

Ugh. Close-mindedness is not related to any aspect of type.

There are open and closed minded people of all types.

Oh certainly.

I just don't think the proportion of close minded J's and close minded P's is exactly the same. Not to say that there aren't plenty of stubborn and close minded P's out there.

Wow, I am a J and I can assure you I am none of these things. I would actually say my defining characteristic is being restless.

I have seen racism as much in P countries as in J countries.

Yeah, I'm only saying those things are more associated with Js than Ps, though I'm sure you might disagree with the "close mindedness" part.

Heheh, I tend to think "spacially". I guess what I mean is that from perspective of politics, the corporate world, business world, etc. -- the government and hierarchies, I see ESTJ. But regarding everyday culture, popular culture, etc., fashion trends, sports, other trends... so on, I see ESTP, or maybe ES_P generally.
Thats what I've always thought.

I think it's because there are always multiple layers or dimensions within any culture, and a culture could be typed several different ways dependinging on which of these dimensions (etc.) we're looking at.

I'm guessing ISTJ, because I don't see a lot of originality and creativity coming from Russia (well, there is a lot of great literature, but I'm not sure about how much of that is modern), either before or after the USSR. They don't seem very expansionist though, and seem to look towards domestic affairs, so that's why I said I.

Germany is not ISTJ, it is ISTP

It's run by J's thats true, but they aint IJ, cause IJ's do not want to run things. The major population is SP or NP.
