MBTI: Reasons To Live

One thing that really bothers me with mbti on tumblr (and the Internet in general) is that intj's are so common even though they're statically less common. It makes me wish I weren't intj (and I'm open for anyone to prove that I'm not intj) just to fit the statistics. The sensor bias is evident throughout this site and honestly I'd very much rather be a sensor than be considered an intuitive masquerading as someone special and rare.

I’m not sure if the bias is called intuitive bias or sensor bias, but I hope you understand that I’m talking about the discrimination intuitive a have over sensors (sorry English isn’t my first language)

Response: I personally think there is a major intuitive bias on Tumblr. There is mass over typing of INTJ, INFJ, and INFP of people and characters. One major reason is free online tests are garbage and type people these three often. I will never forget my friend who turned out to be an ESTJ got typed as an INFJ. 

A huge bit comes from the fact that tumblr is full of teenagers just trying to find themselves. They often try to make themselves fit into a concept of themselves rather than letting themselves be. Many mistype themselves and characters because of this way of thinking. 

However, intuitive and sensing are both great. We need them both. They are ways of perceiving the world and nothing more. Neither makes you smarter or more special than another. INTJ is rare and it is lonely, almost by design. I mean look at Batman, the most INTJ character ever. 

I would separate yourself from that nonsense. It is why I hate sites like personality cafe. They are filled with youths who have barely experienced the world, but are happy to tell you that you are wrong and know nothing. I mean if you look at disney discussion on it every villain is an INTJ because they have plans….it is stressful to look at. 

I would focus on your own self discovery. Realize that like everywhere else on the internet, there is mass misinformation about MBTI on Tumblr. It is why I started my blog in the first place.
