Hi,
After joining this forum, I was (surprisingly) surprised at the number of Women here. Before coming here, I'd always had in my mind the idea that NT or rational types were predominantly Male. I presume this assumption was because I associated rational mindsets with Male dominated subjects such as Computer Science and Engineering at University.
Generally throughout my life, though, I have met far more rational Men than Women. If the number of Women is equal or indeed higher, does this mean that rational Women tend to cover up or withhold these traits from view more than Men do? And taking this further, could I have actually already met more INTJ Women than I thought I had, without actually knowing it?
Now I find myself questioning, why did I even allow myself to think this in the first place!?
