I saw the "pissed at this forum" thread, and I had a few thoughts I'd like to share -
1. The distinctions we've made because the board's separated into four categories seem to be at the root of all of this. For example, I think xNTPs and xSTPs have a lot more in common with each other than xNTPs and xNTJs do, when it comes to general approach at life. Looking at functions, that makes sense, since two of the functions are the same in the former comparison, while all four are different in the latter.
2. Intuitors don't do a good job hiding their arrogance. I'll admit that. I'll also admit that most of it came about as a defense reaction to feeling isolated while growing up. If I've pissed you off doing that, I'm sorry, it was wrong of me, and let me know in the future so I can fix it.
3. You're probably right in that there aren't as many intuitors as stated on this site, but at the same time, there are more than in the general population, simply because people aren't attracted to psychology if they feel normal. One thing you'll find among most Ns here, and I hope I'm not overreaching, is that even though they may be happy and confident about life, they don't feel normal and more disturbingly, are becoming aware that they never will. I'm not saying that many of you do not share the same feelings, because everyone feels that way at some point. However, it is a more constant refrain for Ns.
4. Sensors aren't stupid. You just learn things in a different way than intuitors do. Working together, we play to our strengths and accomplish far more than any of us could do alone. For example, science would go nowhere if sensors (that is, the applied side) didn't constantly point out to intuitors (theoreticists) that while their thought patterns might look good, you better show some evidence that it actually works.
Thanks for y'all's time.
