As an INTP my best are: Albert Einstein, Friedrich Engels, Rene Descartes, Abraham Lincoln, and Edward Snowden.

Worst are: Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, John Locke, Albert Speer, and George Soros.

If you don’t know what type you “are” just look up Myers Briggs test.

(Disclaimer: this stuff’s basically pseudoscience, but it is interesting to think about who might have though kind of like you)

      They are categories of people’s personality tendencies. Yes it is essentialist, but most psychology is these days. I like that Meyers-Briggs doesn’t pathologise differences in people’s minds though. Because it is self reported tendencies it feels more accurate than astrology but does not make any supernatural claims. Also you can have high tendencies in both directions for any of the 4 characteristics making your personality not easily defined by one of the 16 personalities.

      It was made to help people get assigned to jobs so that they can be satisfied with their jobs based on their personality type. Thus is has a list of falsifiable hypothesises.

      I found this article: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/215243328.pdf

      Reading this article it made me realize how difficult it would be to control for this experiment because they’d have to control for how shitty various workplace environments can be.

      The best way to do this kind of experiment in various workplaces is to sieze the means of production in order to flatten the differences of shittyness between workplaces. Then collect the data from people of various industries, Job satisfaction, industry, particular job title, Meyers-Briggs personality type. To further control for the shittyness between industries we should also extract the median satisfaction rate of each industry.

      We can run statistics on what personality types are common in particular industries, and to what extent a particular personality type is satisfied relative to the median of the industry with particular industries or job titles.

      Sorry if this is off topic.

    Those hack frauds Bernie Sanders and George Orwell are also an INFPs and I am pseudoscientifically ashamed to share classification with them

    The upside is that apparently so were Kurt Cobain, Carlos Santana, and Ronnie James Dio.

    There’s a pattern I’m noticing. All of you who’ve commented so far have exactly one trait different than me.
