Anyway, statiscally, the least liked types in this poll are ESTJs, ESFJs, ISFJs, ENFJs and ENFPs. 4 of the 5 top voted options have a F preference, 4 out of 5 fave a J tendency, and lastly 4 out of 5 have an Extrovert attitude.
Any comments about this?
Yeah it shows the power of rumour and speculation, coupled with a self-centred justification of why you didn't get along with someone. Some might say its because most people online are introverted perceivers, however, I think it is more accurate to say that it is because people have spent a nice long time diluting and swirling a theory around enough that they can break it down to a few simple traits, so much so that people are liable to typify a person they didn't get along with as a certain type based upon an educated guess of 'what seems to be right'.
Does that make these statistics inaccurate? Difficult to answer, it will be hard to pick through those who are correct in their evaluation and those who merely typed based on their own pre-conceived biases. Afterall if I were a living stereotypes of an INTP for example and I lived with a bossy parent who demanded that I go out and work for a living like a normal person, or that I socialise more, then I might be inclined to go 'hah ESFJ knew it!!' based upon the pre-conceived, internet-influenced notion in my mind that this is what an ESFJ constitutes.
Of course since there is no evaluation involved here, this person could be one of any number of types which is irrelevant of course because ive already decided in my mind what this person is.
In any case in my experiences, as far as I can tell it has been like this:
Online: INFP and INTP
Offline: ESTP, INTJ, ISTP, INFJ, INFP and ESTJ.
Of course I have no idea if any of those are accurate. They are only based on repeated patterns and the offline ones are purely based around those same 'educated' guesses.
In that sense they are little better than a series of justificated cognitive biases. All that can be said for certain is that they were dicks.
