Not that weird, just the T part is like 60%Male/40%Female, that's the only M/F that isn't pretty close 50/50.

I think the N/S is the real difference. 15/85 split among the population is the biggest difference of all. N is 50/50 between M/F, as is S.

You are probably just weird for being in the 15% of N types. I read in a book, can't remember which one though, that the N is the intuition that is considered "Women's Intuition", although it is distributed 50/50 between men and women.

Also the forum has a disproportionate amount of N type members, from the 85/15 split. I think it has to do with people who see that there is something else out there, unseen. This has to do with the N type highly correlating with abstract thought. You may also notice when looking at stat sheets from MBTI that N types are far more likely to get advanced degrees than S types. The standardized tests that they give K-12, and the SAT/ACT/GRE/MCAT are all highly weighted to weed thru students and to pick the ones that are smart N types. You may wonder why those tests had "METAPHOR" sections in them. N types are great with metaphors, while S types are not. The standardized tests use this to sort thru N/S types, as well as the other academic qualities.

There are monkeys, and there are sheep. The lead monkey is an S type, so are the followers. Monkey see, monkey do. The lead sheep is an S type so are the followers. They follow whomever.

N types are neither monkeys or sheep. They neither lead, nor follow, but strike out on their own, looking for something.

I/E & J/P are 50/50 with M&F and population

type | population | gender |
I | 50% | M/F 50% |
E | 50% | M/F 50% |

S | 85% | M/F 50% |
