TL;DR: 10-12% of people would rather die than just follow the crowd while 40-45% of people would rather die than go against the crowd. — In the 16-type Myers-Briggs framework, SF types are those with Sensing (S) and Feeling (F) preferences, while NT types have iNtuition (N) and Thinking (T) preferences. If we look at large-scale MBTI population studies (e.g., CPP Inc., CAPT database, MBTI Manual 3rd ed.), the distribution in the general U.S. adult population tends to look roughly like this: ⸻ SF types (ISFJ, ESFJ, ISFP, ESFP) • Combined: about 40–45% of the population • ISFJ and ESFJ alone make up over a third of all people. • Tend to be more common in women than men. NT types (INTJ, ENTJ, INTP, ENTP) • Combined: about 10–12% of the population • ENTJ is the rarest overall, while ENTP is the most common NT type. • Tend to be more common in men than women. ⸻ So in broad terms: • SFs are 4x more common than NTs in the general population. • SFs dominate because both Sensing and Feeling are individually high-frequency preferences, while NTs combine two lower-frequency ones. If you’d like, I can break it down into each of the 16 types with exact percentage estimates so you can see how those categories add up

Meanwhile INFPs: "They've turned me into one of them. I am one of them. That's why you need me. I am your conduit. I am your bridge. Ich bin ein nerd!" 🤓 💜 image
