I'm new on this site, so forgive any shortcomings in adherence to unwritten rules of creating posts, etc.
I came across a video which really prompted something in me to question it in regards to MBTI. In essence, seven strangers must decide who among them will receive $1000. The video has 22k dislikes and only 15k likes despite its good production and it being quite entertaining. When skimming the Comments' section (if not having watched the video), you can understand that it's because the majority of the viewers disagree with who received the winning money (or at least how they went about doing it).
Of course, I agree that other contestants might have been more (or at least as equally as) deserving of the $1000. Observing everyone's interactions, I came up with the blatant idea that Sensors are more "successful" (read: "better at getting their way") than Intuitors, since the first three to be voted off seemed to be people I could relate to (shy, kind, thinking of the future, not caring too much about winning the money) whereas the last three to remain somehow seemed selfish or more focused on the "now" of winning the money. Of course, these are generalizations (I know that both Sensors and Intuitors are capable of being kind, being selfish, etc.). My more concrete reasoning for typing the first and last three as such were because the first three seemed to have more altruistic or "idealistic" considerations and having in mind a "bigger picture" (e.g. giving the money to charity, splitting the $1000 among the 7 of them) on what to do with the money, as opposed to the remaining three.
Why/How Sensors are more "successful" than Intuitors? Upon researching in depth about the differences between Sensing and Intuition, I became confused and wondered if in fact the differences between the first three voted off and the remaining three were actually differences in Extroversion and Introversion, or even Thinking and Feeling. So far, I've decided to focus on making a comparison of the ST / NF dichotomy, since it's my safest bet so far.
I wouldn't say I'm ultra-experienced with typing or MBTI, but it isn't completely new to me. I don't have great knowledge on the exact order individuals use their main/auxiliary cognitive functions, but I understand the gist of things. Conclusively, I decided that typing the contestants would be the easiest solution to my hypothesis. I have no experience with it, hence me joining the community on here for some help. I also ask myself if I am confusing cognitive functions with other aspects of a person's personality/character that may have nothing to do with the MBTI, like arrogance, vulnerability, or conceit. Additionally, I would imagine that trying to type the individuals, although they are acting as themselves, would be more difficult due to the fact that this is a competitive game, and so those very intent on winning may exert a larger effort to heighten use of secondary or tertiary cognitive functions in attempt to win the $1000.
For those who are interested, there is a post-interview with the contestants, where a few of them express their experiences as being contestants on the game.
Thanks in advance for the help.
