In your opinion and observations who do you think has the greater number of healthy types as a whole extroverts or introverts? By healthy I mean well developed functions

I don’t really know that function development and health have a direct correlation.  I think you can develop or not develop functions and still be a perfectly… functioning human, as it were.  Maybe think of it more like learning skills, where doing so does not make you inherently more or less healthy.

I was just sent this 2016 podcast of Dario Nardi which may interest you. He does answer some questions in a similar vein and gets into some type specific things.

Hey. In your opinion what are some differences that you may have noticed between thinker girls and thinkers boys and feeler girls and feeler boys

In a word: socialization.

I don’t really know how to answer this more specifically (or more generally tbh), because it depends entirely on cultural/institutional values + personal/family values and how the expectations of how you should behave according to those values clashes or agrees with you as a person.

I don’t think I would be comfortable pointing to differences and saying the reason for them is gender without considering the intersection of a great many other factors.  Sounds like an interesting graduate thesis for an enterprising academic, though.

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.

Why do you think a lot of istps succumb to drug use especially when they become famous as I have notice many people of the istp typing have either had or died from drug use or the drug use amplified suicidal feelings they may have had before

I get where you’re coming from on this because I remember this ask coming in after I’d moved a bunch of people to ISTP and it seemed like suddenly every person with a cult following who’d OD’d was suddenly an ISTP.

I’d hesitate to say that there’s a correlation, though, because I have no illusions that this blog accurately reflects reality.

I haven’t, for example, found all the celebrities who’ve died of drug related deaths and typed them, so I have no idea if most of them are ISTPs.

From my very far away perspective, the people I’ve typed (not just ISTPs) who’ve died from drugs or suicide generally just seem really isolated.  Pushing away people who try to help, or not knowing who to trust in the first place, self-medicating, getting stuck in their heads.  Fame can be lonely and drugs are readily available in the entertainment industry.
