I've always thought the opposite -- look for any conversation about Myers-Briggs, and there are very strong odds that you're talking to a group of INTJs. The temptation to rationally categorize everything is too strong to resist.

Ha, that may be, Tyler. I would have made the same joke if he'd said he was an ENFP,
in the same way I always say Libras never believe in horoscopes.

Now you've got me thinking, though: there must be some group of that test that *is* less likely to believe in it.

I recall a poll a few years back on the-forum-which-shall-not-be-named which revealed a predominance of INTJs, though the incidence of INTJs in the general population is something like 2 percent. Has a poll ever been taken on this forum? I'm guessing that there are more "feelers" here than on the other forum, but I'd suspect that there is a predominance of INTJs here as well.

But further to the subject of this thread: It's interesting how the young progressive culture has a split personality when it comes to things like this. While sexual harassment is viewed in the abstract as the quintessential expression of oppression and alpha-male domination, this idea is eclipsed in practice by the strong narcissistic conviction that you should have whatever you want.

I think the conclusion a while back was the same for this forum. I'm an INTJ, too. :P

if i remember correctly the results were the same when the topic came up here, INTJ was most common by a fair bit...

I guess you guys saw the latest news about CEO Travis Kalanick.
This just gets better and better, doesn't it?
I think we'll be switching to Lyft as well.

And don't forget about Amit Singhal, the new SVP of engineering they just fired for "not disclosing" he was forced out of Google for... sexual harassment.

Uber fired a top engineer for covering up allegations of sexual harassment

Uber is a hot mess right now.

I feel bad for founder and former CEO Travis K, as he lost his mother recently in a boating accident.
In the context of this forum, I guess I should specify that this is real and not a joke.
