Not surprised at the number of INTs. Fair number of ENT as well.
Poll HN: What is your personality type?

Re: Poll HN: What is your personality type?
#62Why is that important exactly? To know in which pigeon hole I belong? Don't get me wrong. It's vital to be aware of one's traits, strengths and weaknesses but I'm not a D&D character. Defining people by four-letter groups seems just weird to me.

#63ENTP all day, all night.

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
Typical ESFP response....
Is this a reference to something? I have a vague memory of a show/movie where someone said that same thing about someones refutation of astrology. Something like: "typical aries" or whatever. I just can't remember what it was.
It's more of a meme (in the original sense) or trope than a specific reference.

#65On the one hand, Myers-Brigg is "pseudoscience". On the other, most HN-readers are INTP or INTJ, as expected.
Re: Poll HN: What is your personality type?
#66I could have sworn INTJ is supposedly the rarest of types, found in only about 1% of people, and yet it has by far the most votes here.
If these things are to be believed though, INTJ is more likely to be found among engineers/scientists. There are some who say INTJ is the most "independent" type - one could draw a correlation between the personality type and that of an entrepreneur striking out on their own and/or freelancers. It's then easy to make the argument that you'd have more INTJ's interested in something like HN.

#67Off-topic: My personality type is such that I click upvote randomly on HN polls. This has been the obligatory reminder that HN poll results are meaningless. All ESFP's are just asleep at this time of day.
On-topic: No surprise INTJ is fairly well represented. Logical introverts are a stereotype of our industry.
Re: Poll HN: What is your personality type?
#68I was under the impression the Meyer-Briggs was essentially pseudo-science?
Yet the poll-results show that HN is predominantly INTP/INTJ, which Myers-Brigg would predict for this audience!

#69melancholic, with a soupçon of wry derision.
Re: Poll HN: What is your personality type?
#70The "rarest" personality type (ENTP)[http://www.16personalities.com/intj-personality] has the most up votes. I don't know why I saw that coming but I did. A very interesting community here.
