Nail Biting and the N function

[tfg345i4u5lw]

Nope, no correlation whatsoever.

I don't think you can give an answer. Did you read an article or a study?? If so please post I would be interested.

And you provided no study either, so your assertions are just as invalid.

No, there is no corralation to this what so ever. Why do you think there is a connection between the two. Simply stating that they are will convince no one on the matter.

I think there is a connection between the two because: 1) an old roommate of mine told me that people bite their nails when they are thinking steps ahead in the future. (N's kinda do this more than S's) 2) I am an N and I used to bite my nails when I was younger.

I'm not really trying to convince anyone. I'm just bringing it up to see what others think.

Where are you guys getting this info?? Or are you guys just giving your opinions like me??

Dude I never made an assertion. All I did was ask a question.

edit: *a question

Anecdotal evidence is not a fact.

In addition, behavioral manifestations of cognitive functions are not reliable as they are diverse, and inconsistent. This, is a behavioral manifestation of cognitive functions, if you can call this that. Cognitive functions describe thought patterns. Nail biting, is completely and utterly independent of thought patterns. There is no relation between these two ideas.

Not unless N stands for nervous.

I bite my nails and I'm an esfp. So I'm not very useful for your statistics.

No you are! That's why I made the thread to get unbiased input.

Thanks!

I don't know. I don't bite my nails but I pick at my thumb nail with my other fingers. I've noticed I do it when I'm in deep thought.

/facepalm.

Actually, nail biting is probably more of a nervous habit...and anyone can be nervous.

This.
