This would have implications that reflect all of the online MBTI community since there are so many profiles and thousands of votes, if the demographics of a type is inflated/deflated, it's not just one person, it's the entire community that has the wrong perception. The database is heavily biased and a large portion of the entries are mistyped.Since it includes such a wide population, selective typing is unlikely. But, Personality Database has an entry for almost every famous celebrity and an entry for nearly every character of a movie/show. since the online MBTI community has a large intuitive population, we just decided to type more intuitive people because they interest us.There are a couple of reasons I can think that could be the cause for the significantly larger N population: Many profiles just have to flip the N into an S. This implies the community types people kind of correctly. This surprised me because it shows most of them are pretty close to real demographics data except for N vs S. Breaking it down, ISFJ and ESFJ are extremely under typed and INFJ, ENTP, and INTJ are the most over typed. The sensors are the most heavily mistyped here. * the real-life demographics data is from here: Percentage of population on Personality Database (# of profiles/total profiles)ĭifference between percentage on Personality Database vs real life Total profiles on Personality Database: 45852 type I got curious and took some time to list out the number of profiles on this database and compare it with real-life data. These numbers simply don't match reality. For INFJ, which is supposed to be the rarest type, it has 2845 profiles, while ISTJ, for example, only has 2634 profiles. On Personality Database, there are at least just as many intuitives as sensors if not more (for those wondering, it shows on the bottom of a type how many profiles it has). But let me break it down anyway cuz it gets more interesting.įor example, it's known that there are more sensors than intuitives in real life. It's a no-brainer that this database can't be the most accurate thing in the world. If you haven't seen it before, it's very extensive and quite interesting.īUT, it's pretty biased. If you have googled the MBTI of a celebrity or a character, you've probably stumbled across Personality Database. The Adventure of the Mistyped Consulting Detective. ![]() ![]() Multiple Models and Truly Understanding the Types.You can test it out at kisa.ca, humanmetrics, odiseajung ( en español), mypersonality ( requires registration), or John's Personality Test. Your type however determines the order and attitude of these functions. Additionally, every type uses all four types of functions, Intuition, Sensing, Thinking, and Feeling. The MBTI sorts for type and each type has a specific function order. The MBTI, short for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, defines 16 types to which each of us belong, according to our preferred cognitive functions.
