Comment on Myers-Briggs types for developers compared to US population

Comments

Psychologists don't like this test because it's unscientific, and I agree. But something is up in that developers seem to be overwhelmingly INTJ and the rest of the population is not.

Could be that we answer ambiguous questions differently, not that we have different personality traits.

Still, I've noticed that there is a bias in the general workplace against people who are perceived to be introverts, and so I answer ENTJ if asked, which has only happened a couple of times.

I wonder how my being considered(I use that term loosely due to said unscientificness of the exam) ENFJ makes me fit into this :)
