MBTI types frequently encountered in daily life

**cindybear** · 06-02-2009, 08:01 PM

What's your guess? Which MBTI types do you think you most frequently encounter in YOUR daily life?

Since I work with a bunch of professors and grad students in a certain field, my guess is:

I-T-

But very generally, in daily life:

IS--

Everyone in my family seems to be a J. Makes for great relationships, let me tell you.

It seems as though there are far more Ss in the world than Ns. Either that, or my N is intense enough to make everyone seem like an S. Otherwise, things are pretty balanced.

This is true. About 3/4 of the human population are Ss.

As I've probably said elsewhere on this forum, most of my friends are Ns, and I've never really gotten close to that many Ss. Some of the people I particularily enjoy hanging out with are INTJs, INFPs, ENFPs, INTPs and ENTPs. I'm not really close to any ENTJs right now, although I usually like them - females more than males though, for some reason.

At work, I'm guessing there's a lot of NT and SJ types. Not much room for SPs and NFs in the field of computer programming, although I'm sure a few can be found. One guy used to be a carpenter before he got into programming, and he doesn't really like programming all that much, so he could be easily be SP.

I don't know the types of many people there for sure though; just two guys that have taken a test that I know of. One is ISTJ and the other is xNTJ.

At my school, it's all about SPs. A handful of NFs. We're severely lacking in the NT department, but NT is the 10%.

In my family, it's all SJ and SP, not a lot of N. Practically no NFs. My mother, father, brother, and all four grandparents are SJs.

E's, all E's.
Almost all P's
Lots of addictive personalities, too.

have to think about the others.

Most of the family I see and talk to regularly are N's, several are NT's. (One ESFP black sheep in there of course).

I work as an intern in a biochemical research lab so the place is blissfully replete with Thinkers and Introverts. I am beginning to think that my current supervisor is an INTJ. She and I get along famously.

I only have three people I could call friends but I'm actually not sure about their types. I think the one is an ENfP, the other an ISTj, and the last is a total mystery to me.

All I know is that she is a law student, majored in english, very right-wing and politically incorrect, thinks it's so adorable that I am pregnant, and is fairly intelligent. But I don't think I can pin her on a single trait, I just don't know.

I interact with academic scientists (grad students and faculty) so virtually all rationals. But undergraduates I interact with are more diverse, and I'm married to a non-rational.
