> Ronnie, Tal, what do you think of this?
Not sure about the methodology used to gather these results... In the MBTI handbook for instance (I don't know what it's called), the distribution, based on 3,000 people surveyed, was very different, and not nearly as extreme (at least not at the upper end).
Frankly you'd have a hard time selling me on the idea that one in every 6 Americans is an ISTJ. I don't think that holds up to even cursory scrutiny. These results point towards nearly half of the population being SJ. I doubt that's true either... Most other sources place the figure nearer 35-40%... that would seem more accurate to me personally.
So generally I'm a bit skeptical about analysing these results, especially since, as Ronnie pointed out, nowhere on that site is the methodology used detailed.
