I can totally understand how many INTx types don't feel attracted to the average American Christian or mass Christian gathering just because of personality. Imagine with me, personality types as spectators at a ballgame--if there's an INTx at the game, I would say he is less likely to be screaming and throwing popcorn on his part than by most of the crowd. If an INTx never knew baseball existed as an interesting human pasttime, or if the INTx knew about it but didn't care for sports--then I bet it would often be tougher to get him into the stadium or into the subject of baseball. He just wouldn't be as interested in it, unless you engaged him at a level that might be more interesting to him than merely expecting him to go have fun or feel the emotions the crowd was feeling. If he just wasn't into all the excitement of the sport, the INTx might start condemning baseball and related fan behaviors indicating a skeptical, "I don't buy into all of that!"Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035612821207783005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-59001715934069468012014-01-27T10:03:05.215-05:002014-01-27T10:03:05.215-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035612821207783005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-76153542354025323302013-04-08T17:23:24.789-04:002013-04-08T17:23:24.789-04:00I am an ENFJ and in the past ENTJ.

But I have *always* been an atheist, since I was a small child. That said, I read my horoscope every day. People are weird.

But considering the small percentage of people who come out as NTs on these tests vs the large number of atheists who self-identify as NT types, there's something going on.<br /><br />Having been through this kind of thing as an HR training tool, I do think they have value for understanding yourself and others a bit better. Understanding other people is a key skill for a supervisor and it did help me to understand my people better. I had one supervisee who would act all eager about an interesting project then never really get going on it. I was so frustrated with her. It turned out when she nodded her head like she understood what I was saying she really did understand but she couldn't make use of it. I had to explain things to her in a way that she could use.<br /><br />So... yeah it's kind of like Astrology, except that they do actually study how the results of these tests relate to the career interests of the people who take them.<br /><br />I haven't seen any write-up of religious beliefs outside of a couple of forums where it was discussed. <br /><br />Anything on the internet ought to skew toward I's because E's don't sit at home pounding away on their computers unless it's to announce to their facebook friends which party they went to.<br /><br />If I find any scholarly study of this issue I'll post it.LadyAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132821431322748921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-10108100163826783702011-07-31T11:43:12.811-04:002011-07-31T11:43:12.811-04:00Do people really fit under the broad spectrum of s...Do people really fit under the broad spectrum of such a test? <br /><br />I find the drive to quantify human behaviour detrimental. You cannot predict how people will behave. Atheists are wild and varied. <br /><br />I have showcased a crazy atheist before (Camille Marino - animal liberation activist who threatened to biology and medical students in Florida with car bombings). Crazy has no boundaries, there are even crazy atheists. <br /><br />Plenty of us believe in pseudoscience, energy, souls, natural medicine, magic but not in a god. Skepticism to a magic Jesus/Allah/Vishnu may not make you immune from being skeptical about your horoscope.Avicennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369807472540249918noreply@blogger.com
