I have a hypothesis... which is, most (if not all) Poalers are analysts... If you think the Myers-Briggs personality types are bullshit, feel free to move along. Personally, I think it's legit as it nailed my personality with scary accuracy and I've consistently seen it do the same with others. If you don't know your personality type, you can find out for free here: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test I'll be transparent and go first: I'm an INTP. EDIT: because the poll limits me to 10 total choices and there are 16 personality types, I have to lump them together by subtype...

I tested INTP-A, fits fairly well.

Interestingly, we did a similar test at a company I used to work for (software company). I think they wanted to try and get the programmers to be less like programmers (less introverted, etc), but all it did was to point out that the CEO of the company was basically a psychopath. The results were put onto some sort of scatter plot, and all the devs clustered in a group with the CEO way off the edge on the other side, like off the charts. That was pretty accurate, because that guy was a fucking psychopath.

But INTs make horrible CEOs. The world needs both and for people to stop trying to make everybody else in their image.

For sure, I would make a horrible CEO, or even mid level manager. Hell, don't even take me to help buy a car, I'll likely negotiate the price higher because I'm extremely agreeable. There is a place for other personality types, but when these traits go way out on the tails of the distribution, you end up with people who are just fucking toxic. For INTs its generally less of a problem for those around them, as INTs who are out on the edge of the distribution tend to keep totally to themselves and don't end up hurting a bunch of people in an orgy of narcissistic lust for fame and power.

The current CEO of my work is definitely not an introvert, but he's also not a total fucking psycho either. He would be a terrible programmer though, just as I would be a terrible CEO or salesman. Different skill sets suit different jobs.

Same, INTP-A

Same, logician. We're probably not a good representative of the entire right, or even a subgroup.

We're apparently pretty rare... so far, my hypothesis is correct looking at the results.. no help from the "fuck you" crowd, but oh well..

Interesting.. Do you remember what his personality type was? I have to assume that the psychopath/narcissist is likely an "E" for the first letter. I'm guessing that they are ESFP's: https://www.16personalities.com/esfp-personality

Can't remember the acronym for him, It was on a 2D scatter plot with different letters or maybe two letters on each axis and he was way off the edge. Their stupid personality types on that site only mention positive attributes, should have a list of negative ones for each type too. He might have been ENTJ or something. Whatever personality type codes for psychopathic asshole.

There actually is a "negative" section for each type on the site.. Click on the "strengths and weaknesses" section for any type and there it is..
