I never found it useful to deal with sixteen types. I focused only on the four main categories--NT, NF, SP, and SJ. That gets you close enough, I think. (On a different scale, I always found it useful to identify lower left brainers.) I tend to think of I and E as largely independent indicators. That pair is mostly useful in a business environment for how people operate in groups, seems to me. you should be most annoyed by continuous company of ESTPs No. Maybe because I didn't run into them much. In fact, I don't recall ever having to collaborate with one. You don't find those folks in the bureaucracy, at least not for long or in high places (other than political appointments, that is... <g>) I agree that they would be more of a challenge than NF's. NF's are a bunch of airheads. Can't focus. Always running off with some irrelevant big idea. You need to have a strong hand to run a meeting with them in it. And, if they're running the meeting, you can forget about getting anything useful done. Denmark has a very high share of NTs In the US, at least, 12%. INTJ is 1%. Amazingly, when I was working as a management consultant, we did MB at a conference (about my sixth testing with the instrument). I don't recall the exact percentage but there the INTJ population was a significant majority. There was only one S in the group. if you are really an INTJ I'd better be. I have had in as my car tag number for decades. I first learned about MB from the ex-beau professor. He used it as a pick-up line. "You're an ENTJ, aren't you?," said he after class. It worked. He knew that, if I was familiar with the typing, I'd appreciate encountering another one in a hundred and, if I wasn't, I'd be intrigued. Turns out he was wrong about the E, though. Some expert! <g>
