Personality Type Determines Politics

[highlander]

I thought this was really interesting. It makes sense

Does your personality type determine your politics?

Interesting that the article contains recommendations for how liberal intuitives should accomodate conservative sensors but not the other way around...


Interesting data points and not totally surprising. However, I've got the impression that this is merely a very rough correlation, not enough to explain the development of value sets. And things get more complicated if you live in a country with more than two political parties.

Yeah that's where I stopped. When the right is told to moderate their positions, since they absolutely are not in the majority, I'll consider taking this shit more seriously.

I deliberately didn't want to say anything since this thread is evidently for Americans. Especially since even the MBTI itself is kinda biased towards American worldviews and standards. (Te wants money ... etc.)

This is like intelligence: It works in many factors, with a few 'randomities'.
So, being intuitive does makes you have a tendency to be more democrat-lean, even we from other countries that is not the US notice that. We can note that on the forum. However, this is quite far from predicting the political position entirely.

I am not surprised about their findings, I already know that, even though I never took much interesting.
There is this table too, I never really went deep to know where or who did it:

I like the idea that INTPs and ENTPs have a tendency to be more independent thinkers on the subject, whereas ESTJ (that is the closes to Jung Te type, closer than ENTJ) is the most dogmatic.

Well, most people that are reading that are either borderline N/S or intuitives, and they imminently know that.
Anyway, I agree with [MENTION=4050]ceecee[/MENTION] that it seems most of the times end up like this: We need to get 'know' how to deal/accommodate conservatives but almost never the other way around, it is that for politics (I wouldn't say that is for N/S, Sensors must deal with intuitives a lot here). I always have this perception that we must always respect the traditions but the traditions are not supposed to respect us (they push it until the limit of the law).

Te wants money?

Te wants money?

I didn't want to make an essay about it but this is really cultural issue. Which can be hard to recognize if you have limited experience with the alternatives. For example in my city during my lifetime we had 3 formal currencies and now we are making our way towards 4th. What on itself is reducing the emotional bond with money. Which is exactly why you crashed your entire manufacturing in order to earn more money through outsourcing. Since the goal was more money ... not functional and round up country. Because efficiency was generally expressed through money, not physical impact. What in the end resulted with the whole MAGA rebellion. I mean even in many MBTI profiles and tests money evidently comes to play as some sort of measure of efficiency, what for me isn't really that simple story. Kinda similar is with Si and "I believe in constitution". Ok, but witch one ? Here I can name at least 6 of them through looking a few generations back (and I am probably overlooking something). Not to mention that not all of these constitutions were applied to the fully territory of the country and we still have people that respect some of those. What basically means that our Si isn't really as one dimensional as the profiles suggest. Since here one dimensional approach can't fully explain the situation.


Therefore my point is simply that MBTI is evidently based on the environments that never fundamentally change and your goal/purpose is to earn money in order to provide for yourself.
