*gasp* So many INTJs! We are one of the rarer personality types, so it is great to see over 90 of us here!

I'm a new member to this group, so I thought I'd say hello and stuff. Hello and stuff!

    Does anyone have any more exact figures on rarity? I've seen numbers ranging from half a percent to 2 percent and I'd like a nice number from a study or something to think of.

    As for 'one of the rarer types' I've never seen another type with a lower % of common population, but some of the other types didn't have any average % of population listed.

    I had no idea that we were that rare. Do you have numbers? How many other Meyers-Briggs tribes are there?

      Here's a little breakdown from what I've learned:

      Extroverts = roughly 75% of the population; Introverts = 25%
      Sensing = 75%; iNtuitive = 25%
      Feeling = 75%; Thinking = 25%
      Perceiving = 75%; Judgemental = 25%

      And so, when each characteristic is in its minority, as with INTJ's, we account for the smallest percentage of all types, less than 1%. We're special, you know it! :)

    10 years ago in high school, I had an economics teacher that gave the test to every student the first week of class so she could 'get a bead' on everyone. Pretty sure I was only the first or second or third INTJ she'd gotten in the many years she had run the test. Worked out well for me since after that I never had to worry about "proving" myself as a student.
