    Default Liking statistics - is it related to socionics types?

    I love statistics, data analysis, diagrams, etc

    Is it type related?
    Alpha > Gamma?
    Gamma > Alpha?
    Both?

    I think it is club-related:
    NTs like statistics
    STs use statistics when necessary
    NFs are indifferent to statistics
    SFs hate statistics

    this isn't such a bad idea, two friends of mine INTJ and ISTJ (both leading Ti types) have done university math with statistics as their main course.

    Though I guess there is a difference between statistic formula's and statistic information (diagrams, lists of percentages etc.)

    IMO it stems from subjectivist/objectivist dichotomy, as subjectivists want to rely on hard, unquestionable data (at least beta). Objectivists seem to be taking things as "obvious". For me it's hard to fully rely on my judgement. I see too many variables and can change my point of view very easily so I need to base my judgement on real evidence. Otherwise it's just speculating. Just like right now .

    Statistics are universally bullshit.

    Statistics are statistics...they can be useful, I suppose, but they are just numbers that indicate something about the past. I care when they can be used to tell something about the future, but otherwise they are just numbers whose relevance has been lost.

    I guess depending on the subject, every type would be attracted to statistical representations. However, as a general topic, beyond maybe the theoretical underpinnings, I find statistics dreary.

    I hated statistics in high school, I loved it in college. I think, like math in general, it depends on how you're introduced to it.

    Gamma NTs (especially LIEs) like statistics because it provides them with an accurate picture of the changing states of the world, which they can use to plan method of acheiving their goals.

    Alpha NTs (especially LIIs) like statistics because it gives them one more thing to analyze to death.
