Type frequency statistics

This says that SF types alone make up 42% of the population. All four SF types make it in the top 6 most common type list.

SJ make up another 44% of the population, that intersects with the above SF group.

NTs make up around 10.5%.

How could you make use this knowledge? say for example when you are trying to make new friends, what general assumptions should you hold about other people based on the statistics above? and if you are some sort of content creator what sort of things should you be considering?

I'm aware that the hierarchy of impotence when it comes to knowledge is contextual > general, but thinking about general assumptions is still useful if you don't have much specific knowledge to go on and basing these assumptions is better than guessing or not knowing.

This shows statistics based on countries.

It says 15% of respondents from Iran are intps. Very questionable. Can someone try to explain this?

If you're making friends with someone, chances are you already have common ground to begin with, so the chances of them being the same or similar type are higher.

1. If you're trying to sell something make sure its appealing to a dominant Sensing personality
2. If you're trying to meet compatable people the most you can hope for is to get lucky occasionally

If you're trying to meet compatable people the most you can hope for is to get lucky occasionally

Or – you have to find friends from a bigger sample of people than others.

3. INTPs are unrelatable.

Learn how to tell someone's type by looking at them. If you can't do that, then you can blindly assume you'll find a majority in the world to be rigid, close-minded, traditionalist, etc. Also, if you have issues with sensors, then you know to not rush into friendships, but to instead choose carefully, as the odds favor you both not being very compatible.

You should at least try to be able to tell a sensor from an intuitive type.
