Bitcoiner Personality - MBTI/Keirsey Poll

[WiW]

If you don't know what your type is, you can take a test here (other suggestions welcome)

Any theories about which types would be more likely to take an interest in bitcoin and why?


UPDATE:
Say hello to the data extrapolation ionizer! (for graphs and charts click here)



Dataset must be manually updated, so bump this post if you want me to update the latest data (don't feel like figuring out how to automagically scrap data from the forums into a google docs spreadsheet).

I'll start off by guessing that rationals and idealists (with a little bit of enthusiastic explanation) are most likely to take interest in bitcoin. The paradigm of the protocol itself is the appeal for rationals, while the promise of a better, fairer monetary future will appeal to idealists.

I took this awhile ago. Interesting, until I got to this wiki page...

I'm sure others would highlight some of the economists...

[misterbigg]

I would have liked it if all the "I---" were grouped together, and the "E---" grouped together!

I think we have a good mix of people here, Architects, Scientists, Trustees, Artisans, Journalists, Administrators: A good place to start exploring this experiment.

Masterminds? Are you guys telling me this forum is 40% filled with what would only be 1% of the general population... That is most excellent.

Inspectors make up 20% and Architects another 20% too... wow... wow... I think we got a great team to build the infrastructure. Combined with the Crafters, Supervisors and Champions... we may very well have brought together the greatest, most adept work force ever assembled in history.

You talk about problems trying to explain something to an engineer? All the INTPs immediately understand what I am referring to and just a small change in tone or style and I can lose every engineer on the forum! Left-brain types respond to logic and lack the creative depth to allow any challenge to preconceived held viewpoints. ;)j/k
I found some old links from earlier discussions:

That list is bogus. INTJs are one of the types that tend to attribute INTJ-ness in many non-INTJs (usually very successful people). Bill Gates for example is widely considered an INTP (even on this INTJ forum he was voted as an INTP).

I'm a little surprised by the amount of INTJs here. I expected many rationals, but not that many, and not that many J's...

[QuestionAuthority]

It says I'm an ENFJ? I guess I shouldn't be here at all or perhaps here just for the entertainment value.

Bitcoin needs more ENTJ's to explain and persuade the sheeple

[TippingPoint]

INTP

[BitBank]

INTP here.  


Take a look at the demographics on these forums, and compare them to the general population.  I saw a similar trend on libertarian forums that I'm a part of as well:

- only about 6% of the general population are INTP or INTJ, compared to over 75% here.

- 75% of the general population are "sensors" (S) versus 25% "intuitives" (N), compared to about a ratio of about 1:5 S:N here.

- about 50% of all women are "SF" types (sensing, feeling).  

- almost 50% of all men are "ST" types (sensing, thinking)

Yay more ESTJs!

[TheButterZone]

I got pissed off at http://www.discordia-inc.co.uk/misc/mbtitest.html because of the checkboxes (select multiple) for seemingly bubble (select one) answers.

So I took http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html and got INTP.

I'll go back to the first one and select multiple boxes now. Ah, it allows max 2. First one says I-N-tied between T&F-J

Heh. I read http://www.typelogic.com/infj.html and most of it resonated with me, but a bit was just WTF.

http://www.typelogic.com/intj.html was mostly WTF. So I guess without reading all the rest, the tie would break in favor of F and not T.

/facepalm

Not at all surprised that INTJs dominate on here.

[Mike Christ]

Very interesting!  INTP myself.

[BitBank]

Not at all surprised that INTJs dominate on here.

Actually, as of the time of your post, there are an equal number of INTJ's and INTP's.  Leave it to you INTJ's to rush to.. Judgement

Sorry, I didn't mean dominate the majority of the poll, but are one of the dominant groups on the forum. Also I've always thought of INTP and INTJ to be very similar. I'm a J, but am very close to a P.

As for the poll competition, you INTP's may have Einstein, but us INTJ's have Hawking who disproved some of his theories, so

Not sure if that makes up for Ben Bernanke

Awww, no other INFJs (yet)
