This is all ridiculous.
I would also suggest not to take Majesty's initial post seriously. She has a tendency to jest or say somewhat controversial snippets, perhaps to keep things interesting. Not that I entirely mind that, need to shake things up a little bit from time to time.
EDIT: Forgot to add, don't ya'll think that Majesty knew exactly what she was doing, too, posting a tidbit on introverts on
INFJs Forums? Anyone who takes a post framed in such a way too seriously is doing Majesty's awe-inspiring silliness a disservice. That could be because I have a penchant for Ne silliness, though.
It was certainly funny reading through this thread and these forums, too, how many seem to think they're smarter, better, etc., than another type. It actually reminded me of just the other day, when I was doing some research on intelligence and correlation between MBTI types (I've decided that there really isn't any, especially how most use IQ as a reference, and that test is flawed, and how some of the types people have claimed certain "brainiacs" to be can't be verified - it really comes down to multiple intelligences). After looking through some scholarly articles, I decided to go more informal and peruse some forums. On one, a site for NFs, the NFs brought forth evidence that having T as a tertiary or inferior function improves intelligence. On another, NTs were certain of their own superiority. On yet another, the thread starter, a confused ISTJ, coincidentally brought forwards the same article (this one:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FCR/is_4_37/ai_112720426/pg_3/) I found amongst the NFs and this is what they said, word for word "I find this kind of strange because I would imagine that Sensing and Thinking would make one smarter rather than going by one's emotions."
Of course you think that - those are your dominant functions - that's the conclusion just about everyone finds, whether they're top two functions are Si and Te, or Ni and Fe. I lol'd. Everyone thinks they're the smartest, or that they've found the ultimate truth - if that's the case, perhaps we can agree that in some way, each soul has their own nugget of wisdom to offer. Why does someone else have to be wrong just because you assert that you're right? We're all just interpreting and interacting with our perceptions of reality in different ways.
Perhaps Ms. Majesty was serious, though. If that's the case, I still reiterate - this thread is ridiculous.
Everyone knows that ambiverts, extroverts,
and introverts all fail at life -
honestly.
Otherwise we wouldn't all be here on the Internetz debating whether E or I fails harder.
