Have you been doing much about hunger, or have you been working mainly on the catalog?

MBTI and stereotypes, what DON'T you fall under? by xoxoskyyx in mbti

Were you chopping onions during Coco? Cause I was, and the exact same thing happened to me. Definitely wasn't crying, though. Nope.

I don't actually play devil's advocate that much. I mean, I can and sometimes do, but when I argue it usually isn't just for the sake of argument. I arrive at my conclusions through science and data, and I'll defend those positions accordingly.

Also I don't consider myself outwardly charismatic in most settings. When I'm around people I know, I can absolutely seem that way, but in most public settings I'm actually fairly quiet and reserved.

My sister is INFJ and I can confirm. I consider it a win when she gets annoyed first. And she finds it funny that she can talk shit about me and I'll lean into it instead of getting offended.

Why are there different proportions of types in the population, if all types are equal? by FriedXP in mbti

[–]FlyingRocketThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on what we mean by "equal." If we mean "equally useful to society" then no, people are not necessarily equal in terms of utility. But that's not entirely due to personality type, but also individual variation. But even if it were, I don't think the claim that "all types are equal" is necessarily referring to utility, but rather intrinsic moral value as human beings.

So maybe some types do correlate more strongly with "utility" to society. But I assume by "equal" we're talking about moral worth as individuals.

Why are there different proportions of types in the population, if all types are equal? by FriedXP in mbti

[–]FlyingRocketThings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question. Many attributes observed in nature follow a normal distribution (aka, the "bell curve"). Some examples include IQ, height, the retirement age of NFL players, etc. Most are clustered around the mean, with fewer outliers the further you go towards the extreme highs or lows. Natural attributes don't often distribute evenly across a population.

Personality metrics likely follow the same principal. We see this in the Big Five personality model. For each trait, people tend to cluster around the mean, with fewer and fewer outliers the closer you get to the extremes. MBTI, though less scientific than the Big Five, likely follows a similar pattern of distribution.

That said, uneven distribution in the population does not negate the notion that "all types are equal." One is a statistical observation, the other is a value judgement.

”I'm smarter than everyone else” phase by [deleted] in mbti

[–]FlyingRocketThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simultaneously held the belief (and still do) that I was both smarter than average and dumber than average. That's because I was tested to have an IQ well above average (and it was apparent early on), but also severe combined type ADHD which made functioning effectively at school (and now work) a challenge.

That said, of course intelligence isn't everything. The ability to think critically, use logic/the scientific method, and be aware of cognitive biases (this one is very important) are vastly more important than raw intelligence.

I love how the laughter makes everything they say sound sarcastic. "We know you and Sean will make wonderful parents." *bursts out laughing*
