That was the original goal. I was going to post a new thread with the table where people could either give their occupations, or freepmail it to whoever could keep the table updated. (Many people, including myself, aren't going to say their occupations in public.) But the data is already outdated because I got held up by several things and so the table should probably be updated before it's posted. (My, you people sure are a talkative bunch, aren't you?!)
It wouldn't take much work, but it would take some time. All that's needed is a few trusted Freepers -- one could be the 'note-taker' via freepmail and feed it to another who was the HTML quiz, which I'm not. Do like I did and cheat by using FrontPage. It would be MOST interesting to know what type of jobs are in each category, don't you think? (That was Alamo-girl's idea, so don't give me credit!) The earliest I could get to this would be next weekend. By then it'll be 'old news.'
Also, it would be more interesting if the table had a short synopsis of each MB Type somewhere in there. Give me a few more minutes and I could think of a dozen other possibilities. LOL!
Then again, someone could just cut & paste the table and start the new thread now "as is." Regardless, I'm unable to stick around for the fun. :-(
Hey, someone ping all those INTJs -- THEY'LL do it. LOL. Give them a few ENTJs (Fieldmarshalls) and they'll have it done in no time. Besides, I'm just the Architect. I did my job, right?
(I'm sorry to bail on you, Alamo-Girl. I really enjoyed your wonderful creation here -- you're a great Mentor! Oh, and they may need a Counselor to keep them from killing each other!)
but most interesting are relative populations:
rationalists: General Population 5-7% ; FR (thru your table) 53%
Guardians: GP 40-45% ; FR 20%
Idealists: GP 8-10% ; FR 24%
Artisans: GP 35-40% ; FR 3%
FR is wayyyy heavy with Rationalists and to lesser extent Idealists, while underpopulated with Guardians and apparently of almost no interest to artisans (or do they tend to get zotted ???? )
anyway - am half tempted to update your table with postings appearing after you left off tallies - but really untempted to recheck your work. we'll see. Still, thanks so much for your work putting it together. It certainly has me curious about our population. I wonder where our benefactor and the admins show up on the scales .. ??
The human mind is so incredibly complex and the study of personality types is a fascinating field. I chose to study law and don't regret it.
But I think I would have enjoyed studying psychiatric medicine as an alternative.
It's incredibly interesting to see how the folks we've interacted with for years at this forum have scored in this test. We're not a monolithic group of people by any means, yet there are some interesting tendencies.
It would be fun to see how the various personality types here compare in percentages to the national average.
For my own pleasure (; ENFJ here) I've done this. I have a document on which are the synopses, the communication styles, and the ping lists for each sorter group! What, if anything, would you like done with this?! I wanted it for purposes of communicating more effectively...but that's just me!
Too much fun!
