Hey, I was just wondering about this, and thought it would make for some interesting research. So my question is this:
What type of MBTI personality do you have?
The reason I am asking is because my personality (INTP) is described as being an architect of ideas, and therefore particularly drawn to computers. I have noticed several INTP tendencies (such as desire to be presented with the objective truth and making their own decisions, or hating facades) on these forums, which is especially interesting given that they make-up a very small percentage of the population.
The normal ratios are
Extraverted - 52% Intraverted - 48%
Sensing - 56% Intuitive - 44%
Feeling - 46% Thinking - 54%
Judging - 63% Perceiving - 37%
So in any case I thought it would be interesting to see what personality ratios there are in this forum. You can take the quiz at http://www.41q.com/
but you would probably find a more accurate quiz and description of your type if you searched around on the net a bit. I found the INTP analysis of Paul James to particularly well written. It can be found on http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html
I postulate that personalities with intraverted, thinking, intuitive and perceiving tendencies will be most attracted to linux, and should be slightly more rare in the female population than they are in the male population, which could explain the lack of interest for linux perceived in the two genders. Sorry about not properly explaining what MBTI is properly, but it would be soooo much more efficient to just search wikipedia.
P.S. Sorry about posting this in the women group, but I thought it would be interesting to see how the male/female ratios compared. I know statistically females tend to be more extraverted, etc. And this forum seemed to have a large amount of both men and women postings.
Sorry if I offended anyone, I have that tendency. But it was not my intention.
