Title: Personality types Post by: grantbdev on July 16, 2012, 12:42:30 AM I'm curious what personality types (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) are common among the Bitcoin community.
I am ISFJ. (http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFJ.html) I am also curious in which are the most common pairs of personality types among 'best friends' (or spouses). For example, my best friend is ENTP. Title: Re: Personality types Post by: teflone on July 16, 2012, 01:41:21 AM Im STMTOBF...

You should have a poll. Title: Re: Personality types Post by: grantbdev on July 16, 2012, 02:45:40 AM ENTP You should have a poll. The only thing is I really people to post their best friend's too (which would lead to too many options), and then I might do a table.

Title: Re: Personality types Post by: Vladimir on July 16, 2012, 05:01:35 PM lots of INTP's on this forum, including yours truly
Title: Re: Personality types Post by: Kluge on July 16, 2012, 05:06:52 PM INTP.
I took stats among Ron Paul people online for a few years, and there was also a large # of INTPs and INTJs, which are generally pretty uncommon. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=375&d=1301579370 There was an older one done up here (2007-2008): http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2500/rpfmbtimy2.jpg I also did some checking on 4chan, but couldn't get enough responses, though the few who did reply also had an unusual tendency to be INTJ. There could be some link there -- perhaps libertarians tend to be INTx, or people who are on forums (outside of 4chan and RPFs, I have not collected results), or it could just be that people who tend to take these tests are INTx. In case you may be interested, I collected some other demographic stats from people on a Ron Paul forum. Sample size was typically between 50 and 250 except for many of the 2010-2011 results, which finished, but I lost the spreadsheet files and never felt bored enough to re-enter all the "completed" data -- sample size for that set is somewhere between 20-80 (I entered in data about halfway through the collection start and end date), depending on the particular question.

Does anyone else know of a good, free test? Kluge: Thanks for the awesome statistics. I'm guessing ISFJs (me) are an extremely small minority? Title: Re: Personality types Post by: Vandroiy on July 16, 2012, 05:53:13 PM INT*
I know people on here would label me INTJ without second thought, but actually there are situations in which I switch to INTP. People find that confusing, but I can't help it. ??? Those Ron Paul statistics look very extreme. But then again, it might be a defining property of an INTJ to go on online boards and argue for something not-so-mainstream. Or... for whatever beliefs. I shouldn't be the one to talk though. :-X Title: Re: Personality types Post by: theymos on July 16, 2012, 07:57:51 PM Is there an easy (Read: free) way to find out?

Title: Re: Personality types Post by: wachtwoord on April 07, 2013, 12:41:33 PM Bumping this topic because it is very interesting. The rarest personality type in the general population is by far the most common one in online communities (see Kluge's post above). I have the feeling if we research this specifically on this forum the numbers will be even higher.
I'm also a very clear INTJ btw. Title: Re: Personality types Post by: meowmeowbrowncow on April 07, 2013, 02:35:07 PM This needs a poll. Many years ago I was tested, but personalities do mature and change. INFJ. Title: Re: Personality types Post by: grantbdev on April 07, 2013, 03:34:21 PM This needs a poll.
