/b/ - Strange test results...

[oic0]

Ok those of you who know what /b/ is, hear me out before closing the thread. I am not a troll. At least not right now
This is the second strange result I have seen. First on Thumpertalk - Town Square. Thumpertalk is a dirt bike forum and the town square is for all off topic conversation... which basically means political, religious, and general BS. I posted up the MBTI and a very large portion were xNTx. A large portion of that being INTx. I would say at least 30% . That isn't all that surprising since NTs love to argue.

Now for the other scary thing. Someone posted the MBTI on 4chan /b/ (don't go there! I can't be held liable for any mental scaring). It is basically an anything goes picture board that is usually filled with trolling, racism, porn, and illegal stuff the mods fight to delete as fast as it appears. I would say about 50% or more scored INTx.

What does that say about us as a group?

What does that say about you for taking the test at face value?

4chan is wonderful! Their culture is bizzar and the humour is at times the best I've seen. I am not at all surprised by the XNTX population there (okay maybe a little as the deviance is rife).

If you think about it:
- extraverts would be off making friends and not being anon.
- sensors would be too upset by the sight of CP and gore.
- feelers would be too upset by the existence of the CP and gore.
- judgers would be too opinionated to and inflexible to smell the rich culture.

^these are all silly reasonings of the top of my head, but my point is that closed minded traits would be strongly selected against, leaving those with open minds, which would include a disproportionate number of INTPs.

I spent a fair bit of time on ol' 4chan before discovering this forum, I enjoyed chatting with people who have deviant thought (but not actions) towards family members, children, animals etc. The culture of anonymous hostility is also interesting (although it gets old fast).

It's standard NT culture, I think. Or maybe just T culture. Wordplay, abandoned moral precepts (or at least the appearance of such), joy in that abandonment as it represents a severance from community values....basically everything that screams Ti (analysis, precision, progression to aberrant conclusions), Ne (play) and inferior Fe (detachment, detachment, detachment and fuck the world). That's INTP, anyway, though I think there are actually more INTJs than INTPs. INTJ's dominant Ni and auxiliary Te provides a powerful ability to mindfuck and mess around with concepts and words (which gives them that particular brand of dark humour). ISTPs actually have Ni as well, which coupled with Ti can be pretty cool - I think they did an MBTI analysis on trolls once, and the majority were ISTPs, I think. I would guess, though, that the main factor is Ni, and after that Ti - meaning there might be a bunch of INFJs and INTJs mistyping as ISTPs, and there would be a handful of INTPs as well (and other types with usable Ti - including actual ISTPs, and then ENTPs and ESTPs).

It also explains the aversion to being considered an actual community, and the strong distaste for any sort of communally approved action (such as knighting). Everyone in the group might be similarly deviant, but as soon as someone attempts to exploit that commonality and the power of numbers to achieve a particular goal (especially in aid of something 'good'), the inherent disdain for community and cohesion prevents that from happening. That's weak, inferior Fe for you. When it *does* happen, the perpetrators are generally disowned. Taking pride in the community's 'standards' and 'principles', but refusing to acknowledge that the community actually exists. (How can you exclude someone from the 'real' group if there's no group?)

Ok, I might be talking out of ass for a lot of this stuff. This sort of thing really fascinates me though.
