This is something that came to my mind. Since the world is pretty much external and an individual's merits are often quantified my observable parameters (good academic grades, well-defined work metrics in a professional career, etc.), I'm thinking that these elements have a strong TJ inclination.
Uhmmm....study hard (Si - pretty much memory centric), make an output by doing computation or implement something (Te), envision an eventuality of things (Ne), making a decision out of this (J).
I'm envisioning an INTP life. We assess relationships of concepts (Ni), bind it with our Ti (logic) while using perception as P the catalyst of this process.
And when we realize things, INTPs thrive in the intangible things. In a world with obvious inclination to external merits of an individual, is being INTP an inherent thing or did it just become a gradual choice of evolution for some people who despised the TJ world or something.
Were there early cues in your life that may have showed an INTP trait?
I'm pretty sure I was born an INTP. I didn't cry during my own birth, I began to go off on rants as early as preschool, I spent the majority of my elementary school years staring off into space and reading about things that interested me.
yep, I was doomed from the beginning...
My hunch is that the estrogen quotient pushes women to personalize things; it's less the raw ability to do math, more that they are pushed by biology (and then by culture) into approaching things from a more humanist and less technical perspective. It is interesting to see highly technical women switch gears when they get back to the house and their kids are around.
I read somewhere that the left hemisphere of the brain is developed based on the amount of testosterone introduced to you as a fetus and the right side of the brain was identically effected by estrogen.
