I’m having a hard time seeing Colin Farrell as an N type. He feels too grounded. Did you use Robert Downey jr or Jake Gyllenhaal to type Colin?

Yep, thanks.  Moved to ISFP.

Do you get a lot of requests?

For reference, I started September with, if I recall correctly, around 1420 requests.  I have typed 270 request-related people since (some are in the queue, which goes to mid-January), and my list of requests is now at 1370.

That’s 220 requests for individual people in approximately 100 days, or a little over two requests a day.

What thoughts do you have in regards to the world moving towards a more extroverted place? Because in my observations it seems introverts are in a very bad position in all areas of life such as work or schooling or dating which seem to push for constantly immersing yourself in the company of other peoole

This sentiment has probably been uttered throughout the ages by every introvert who was ever forced to socialize, as well as a good deal of extraverts who would rather be left alone.

I think it is possible on a personal level to feel suffocated by social pressures, but as a general trend, I think this is impossible to answer.  There isn’t one code of conduct for all of human society, so some groups of people value more extraversion, and some more introversion.

In terms of the actual ratio of introvert to extravert in the world (in the mbti sense), I guess if you could type a population accurately enough (I wouldn’t even trust myself to do this in an offical capacity) and then track it for a couple generations, you might be able to find out whether or not the ratio changes and make some guesses as to why.

However if you’re looking at extraverted values taking over, I guess you’re looking more at who has power, and who’s voice is being heard.  I haven’t typed a lot of historical figures, but as far as I can tell (with the exception of the shift to almost all ET world leaders with the adoption of democracy) the types of the people who get attention in their respective fields at their respective ages are pretty similar to the types of people who got that attention before.

What types do you find to be the most animated with their hands as they speak?

Um… every type hand talks, but I’m not sure I could say which does it the most.

I think there’s a lot of things at play, there, and I don’t think the main factors are mbti related.  For example:

Cultural element (are you an Italian hand-talker, or are you culturally more still/have more physical space boundaries).

Situational (are you excited or otherwise emotionally charged.  Note that some people hand-talk more when calm, others when nervous, and it changes again if you are nervous around friends or around strangers).

Upbringing/training (have you changed your gesturing because you have been taught to do so – politicians or actors for example, but generally just anyone having to be aware of how you are being perceived).

There are some hand related things that are mbti-oriented, though.  Extraverts are more likely to use both hands at once, while introverts are more likely to use one.  Js tend to beat a steady rhythm with their hands where Ps are more likely to flow with their thoughts. 

Most unconscious actions that tense muscles in a specific way will share some consistency across type.  When or how much they occur is a lot harder to pin to mbti type.
