  INTP, though the T is only a score of 1.

  We're systems thinkers and that certainly rings true for me. Complex systems like mathematics, languages and computer systems. I teach grade school math.

  Ive always thought, give me the "big idea" and I'll work out the details. When you only have to have an understanding of the big idea, you don't have to waste brain space on memorizing small details, for example, formulas.

  But, I realize that some people don't think like that. They need to know the details first and then put them all together to get the big ideas.

  Sometimes it's hard coming up with lessons that reach out to both types of minds.

  INTJ

  "Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judgemental"

  Actually a bit of a worry, so was Ulysses S. Grant:

  - and (those of you in America please correct me if I am wrong) I understand that he was something of a drunk?

  'nother INTJ here, and 100% introverted. hooray aspergers!

  Bungi Bill - I wouldn't be surprised if us INTJs were more likely to drink a bit. I know it helps me with my extreme social anxiety. Plus, sometimes it's nice to even the playing field

  He may have been a drinker, but he was no Joseph Rutherford.

  I am an INFP also ucantnome and Londo. I have heard its the rarest of types, only 4%.

  OneEyedJoe, I think a lot of INs drink a bit, especially at parties.

  "I think a lot of INs drink a bit, especially at parties."

  As an INTJ, I strategically plan my drinking. I know how much is too much. And once I get to that point, I've already planned on who I'm going to puke all over.

  DJS

  A study last year of average household income by MBPTI type in the US suggests that EJs have the highest family incomes, taking 4 of the top 6 spots. ENTJs were the highest income type. The other 2 spots were IJs. To narrow it a bit, 3 of the 4 EJs were also Ts and both of the IJs were also Ts. So extroverted thinkers/judgers (5 of the 6 highest income types) seem to do better in the corporate world. Not really surprising.

  The lowest income types were found among the feeler perceivers (FPs) and the feeler judgers (FJs). Feelings, which are obviously necessary, don't appear to correlate well in the busines world, and those who judge seem to fare better than those who perceive. Judging, btw, isn't really about judging others or being 'judgmental' in the MBPTI; it is more about judging a situation or event based on the storehouse of knowledge that you have, weighing a situation, data or events in the balance as it were, rather than jumping to conclusions or reacting based on feelings or perceptions.

  Some, but statistically not all, of this clearly has to do with the types of vocations chosen (or drawn to by their personality type) by the various types, but even considering that, the MBPTI is darned accurate. As I stated a few weeks ago, it has its detractors, but David Kiersey, who has carried on the Myers/Briggs/Jung work, has taken the MBPTI to new heights. His newest book on this is scary accurate.

  I was able to incorporate the MBPTI in an Ethics class I taught a few years ago at one of our local colleges. Interesting stuff.

  I'm glad this OP was resurrected.
