Yes, but what does that really mean? What year did a group of researchers decide on 2-4%? One year ago, two years ago, ten years ago? Culture, generations, and individuals are constantly switching and changing. Society has somewhat turned inward what with the popularity of the internet and social media.
Also, what is the "population"? What countries and continents were surveyed? Surely where you live and the culture you were raised in plays some part in your personality type. If the survey was just conducted in one or two countries like the US or the UK then it's probably not an accurate representation of the entire world.

I looked at both pages of the thread and counted seven people as INTJ. Unless I made a mistake.

There is always the possibility that some of us have mistyped ourselves. Mine was done professionally when I was 16 years old because my mom was convinced I had some kind of introverted personality disorder. Since then, I've typed the same way. Sometimes, these online tests word things in ways that create too much room for interpretation, and we type ourselves incorrectly. Plus, answering the questions objectively can be harder than we realize. Being able to honestly acknowledge our true preferences in a society that values this or that can be tough. We want to be accepted, and we create ideal versions of ourselves in our heads. But, who we want to be, who society tells us we should be, and who we really are, can be drastically different. The89frerspirit offered a good personal experience. It's not necessarily that we change who we are after different experiences, but maybe that we finally get to a place where we are willing to be who we really are... Y'all know who I'm talking about right? That soft inner voice we like to ignore. The one saying no as you muster a yes. Before you know it, you don't know who you are anymore. No? Ok, maybe it's just me!! Lol!! Being and INTJ and called rare may give the impression of being "special" in some way, but that is definitely not my experience. Rare meant different is a negative way: weird, being called maladjusted, anti-social, idealistic, impractical. Yes, I've been told the good stuff too: smart, insightful... Overall, it's a pretty lonely personality type to have because I just don't relate to the world the way other people seem to. I'm serious, cautious, and analytical in a way that ALWAYS has me recalculating the outcomes after and during each experience. It hard to live in the moment and enjoy the now. In real life, I don't often meet a lot of people I relate to and that contributes to not having the wide circle of friends an extrovert may have. I don't think I've ever met another INTJ IRL, but I'm an introvert after all - it's not in my nature to socialize enough to meet wide varieties of people and come across another supposedly rare type. =D IP: Logged |

It's funny I used to be an INFJ when I was younger and I feel like i've just grown into INFP. I've done numerous tests just because I'm curious whether it's mood dependent or not and I can never manage to get INFJ anymore, only INFP. If you've only take a test once, I highly reccomend taking it at various points in your life.  IP: Logged |

I've had the P vs J dilemma too once... I would read descriptions of judgers as being rigid and liking structure, which I do, but rigid? No! And, structure and systems - yes - but not in a way that implies absolution! Lol. Like, it's this way or it's wrong. Nothing is absolute in my world. My effort to understand the difference between P and J led me to this video:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KL11OmS1aIU I think it provides good insight. I just like to have things decided in order to feel a sense of progression. I dislike rigidity and feelings of restriction just as much as a P may. Regardless of how I put it, I'm a "tight a**" J type who got a newfound respect and understanding for P types after this video!! The part about Ps getting so much more done is TRUE!! I have P friends and they make me tired (it's a compliment!!)! IP: Logged |

I've read many of your other posts on LL and you do express yourself more Geminish then Leoish, or a combination of both energies. Compared to lets say  Lionenss and Lucia23 there always is some kind of drama in there posts or threads. I've notices that with some users, just the way they communicate, write or what topics they discuss already gives away there chart energies. ====================================

ENFP/INFP. I think I'm an ambivert, now leaning towards introversion. I was slightly surprised when I first took the test because I expected saturn influence to shows up as "judging" instead of "perceiving". 12th house cap sun/venus/uranus/neptune, sag merc. 3rd house aries moon. IP: Logged |

I completely agree, that is just what I came across from wikipedia. I wouldn't make the claim just for a ego boost  @Dualgem, I never made the correlation between topics and comments user write about on this forum and their astro make up. Honestly I've been on this site since at least 2006? Back when my username was still "Missneptune." My posts back then were always about being alone and isolation, ha!

I'm INFP I've taken every quiz I could find for free and took a really extensive one in college, I always get INFP. sometimes my feeling could almost balance with my thinking, when I first took the Myers Briggs assessment I got INTP but after I started taking different tests I got INFP every time. I relate more to INFP big time, I'm definitely a dreamer and crazy passionate/emotional, always been very introverted and private. Libra Sun conj Mars/Mercury
Square Uranus/Neptune/Saturn, Jupiter
Closely parallel Pluto Virgo Moon
trine Uranus/Neptune/Saturn
sextile Jupiter Taurus Ascendat opposing Venus/Pluto conj
Trine Neptune,Saturn, Uranus, moon
Sextile Jupiter
Sedna conj ASC exact also "INFPs may initially seem cool, as they reserve their most authentic thoughts and feelings for people they know well. They are reflective and often spiritual, and often interested in having meaningful conversations about values, ethics, people, and personal growth. Typically curious and open-minded, the Healer continually seeks a deeper understanding of themselves and of the people around them. They are passionate about their ideals, but private as well; few people understand the depth of the INFP’s commitment to their beliefs." http://www.truity.com/personality-type/infp IP: Logged |

I'm an INTJ too and my chart is Uranus driven. Logical, erratic and introverted. I'm not introverted because I'm shy I just don't have a natural need to be around "regular" people. I'm naturally (and sometimes accidentally) drawn to fellow Uranian types. "Regular" people kinda bore me and all the people I care for have at least one hard Uranian aspects. Anyway I doubt "regular" people could tolerate me anyway  so it's all good.IP: Logged |

I'm an IxFP (not sure what my exact type is) and if this pertains to how we see ourselves in our mind, then I identify mostly with the INFP picture (strong Pisces Moon here ). However, stylistically as an artist myself I like the INFJ picture the best (I am a big Josephine Wall fan), and also the ESFP (I'm assuming it's a Picasso). My personal favorite style of art is realism mixed with surrealism, anything that brings absurdity to reality. But I have a question. I noticed some of the artwork listed under intuitive types are very detailed. Wouldn't extreme attention to details be more of a sensor trait? My artwork is very detailed too, so this makes me wonder...

^I'm an INFP and I totally agree. I like the picture it shows, but I feel like it would be more suited to INFJ than INFP. I like the INFJ and the ESTP.I love Josephine Wall as well and also love anything surrealist and anything with lots of strongly blended colour and texture. My favourite line about art/my aesthetic is from Titantic haha when Rose is talking about Picasso "It's like being inside a dream or something." IP: Logged |

I'm an INFP, most of my works have a lot of little details. But I don't go for hyper-realism.
I don't know enough about Myers-Briggs to answer from what angle. IP: Logged |

I like that quote from the movie because I feel that way about art too. I also like the classic quote when Rose tells Jack, "Draw me like one of your French girls." quote:

Okay, I always wondered what they mean by attention to details versus the big picture. What if you have both attributes, or is that not possible? I still get confused over MBTI even today because I can relate to both the Ne-Si and Se-Ni axes. :/ I always used to draw realistic portraits of people when I was younger, but now I use those skills to try make something greater than what can only be seen by the naked eye. Not sure if this can be considered an indication of Se/Ne or not. IP: Logged |

Anyways to stay on topic, I definitely see a correlation with MBTI and Astrology, at least in relation to my Dominant Fi function. I have a lot of Water sign planets in Water houses in my chart that I believe is significant to my introverted sensitivity (Fi). I would also attribute my 12th house Pisces Moon as NF, but I'm not entirely sure. All I know is I am definitely an IxFP. IP: Logged |

@Folks,Those pictures are what the MBTI types would paint if they were the artists.
For instance, the picture under ESTJ would be what an ESTJ artist would paint.. Aesthetically, some other painting might appeal to you for any number of reasons - so try not to look at it that way. Yeah, even I think some of those could be different! But I love the idea, it's a great way to think about the types. And internalise their meaning. For instance, you can find many INTJs in the field of graphic design - for them, the approach would be that of "problem solving" and that theme would reflect in their artwork. It would be a perfectly tailored solution to whatever the task required.. They'd be great at technical, scientific drawings.. But when it comes to their imagination put into art, they might not take the plunge with that even if they wanted to. Those things would stay in their head. See what I mean? IP: Logged |

Yeah, me too! Fan of the surrealists. I agree that that depicts INFPs more. The I's typically have less fire in their charts, and the E's have it emphasized.
Also, I's seem to have personal planets in water houses. The T's would be mercury-influenced and I think, (not sure though), that the P/J would have something to do with the mutable/fixed modalities. The cardinals can go either way with P/J depending on the rest of their chart. IP: Logged |
