From back when I obsessivly researched this, I think I remember that INTJ is the second rarest type there is with around 2-4% of the population, and INFJ are the rarest found in 1-3% of the worlds population.
I'm an INTJ, married to an INFJ.

Coincidently, thats when I learned about Asperger's from http://intjforum.com/ since so many INTJ's have Asperger's.

You're right:

Chances of a INTJ-INFJ marriage are quite low. It would be interesting to have a research that compares the real probability of occurrence a couple formed by a specific pair with the probability according to their frequence in the society. After all, people have been looking for the key to explain love since ever, who knows if there's here something meaningful

INTJ

Indeed, the INxJ types are very rare in the general population. I've read somewhere xNxx-people are more seldom that xSxx-people and the combination of N and J is very rare. And, of course, there are less introverts than extroverts.
Sources telling us about the frequency of specific personality types in the population differ from each other, though there are patterns to see.

Also INTJ.

Thanks for the frequency information.

I'm really fascinated by MBTI. I went through a phase of reading about it obsessively. I think it accurately describes a lot about how a person will interact with others and process/express their thoughts and feelings, while not completely defining who they are. After reading about it so much I can usually guess a person's type after a few conversations with them. Interestingly, 90% of my close friends and past romantic partners are either ENTJ or ENTP, and sometimes INTP or INTJ. I seem to collect rationals ("NT" combination). I'm more likely to befriend extroverts mainly because I'm usually too shy and timid to approach introverts and vice versa.

I'm very much an INTJ. It's weird to be on a forum with so many fellow INTJs... I've only met 2 in real life.s

Wow, I'm surprised to see how few extroverts there are in the poll, especially considering that extroverts outnumber introverts by a percentage ratio of about 75:25.

...Really? This is an autism forum. Autism is basically extreme and crippling introversion.

I'm INTP, so is my DH and one of our kids. The other one is INFP. We're a bit boring but very easy on each other's nerves. My mom is ESFJ (my opposite type). Living with her was not easy although since she makes all the friends for the entire family, it did help with my family's social life and connections.

Yeah but there would probably be a bias because I have a feeling that most people who come on this site (not to mention a popular quality of aspies) are introverts.

There have been a thread about this already, most Aspies reported being I*T*.

It'll be intresting to see if this thread ends up the same. If so, looking for I*T* could become a very useful diagnostics tool for psychiatry when looking for Autism.

(btw, INTP).

Perhaps not - after all, it is expectable that most people suspected of being autistic are I*T*, being that personality type will be useless to differentiate between "autism" and "other kind of social awkwardness".

As I stated in the other MBTI thread on the Off the Wall forum, I hate to break this to you all, but the Myers-Briggs is not falsifiable. The closest anyone has come to actually validating the 16 type theory through science is braintypes . com, but they too are still in the proto-science phase. They believe that most people, Aspies or autistics or otherwise, are ENTPs. They do not measure extroversion through enjoyment of crowds and sociability, but through energy expenditure and output (dopamine receptors in the front of the brain, hence ENTP=FCIR, or FRONT brained Conceptual Inanimate Right), because this link is more scientifically sound. The fact that most of us love stimming in some form is a Front-brained trait, not a Back-brained introvert one; a racing mind is similar. So-called "extroversion," as the media defines it, is actually more of a feeling/animate/relational trait (SF or NF), whereas life in the mind is more of an NT trait.

Quote:

Extraversion and introversion are typically viewed as a single continuum. Thus, to be high on one it is necessary to be low on the other. Carl Jung and the authors of the Myers-Briggs provide a different perspective and suggest that everyone has both an extraverted side and an introverted side, with one being more dominant than the other. Rather than focusing on interpersonal behavior, however, Jung defined introversion as an "attitude-type characterised by orientation in life through subjective psychic contents" (focus on one's inner psychic activity); and extraversion as "an attitude type characterised by concentration of interest on the external object", (the outside world).

It seems they have a different definition of extroversion and introversion than Carl Jung and the authors of the Mayers-Briggs had, so it basicly can't be compared. The "E" they are talking about is basicly an "I".

A reasonable point. Basically, they can be compared in as far as they use the 16 type system, but the methodology is different.
