Society favours certain types
Hi everyone :D, I am new to this forum and just joined today.
I have the belief that society tends to set up society in a way that is completely unfavourable to certain types and favourable for others. Well, if I had to guess, life is more set up for E types, S types and J types. Think about it, everything you do in life forces you to talk to others (E), be grounded in your decisions and concentrate on any task given to you (S), and hand in everything on time and do it in advance (J). This applies to work and school, so that basically means life in general. Do you guys agree with me on this matter?

The setup changes with time. I like to think of it as "climate": Cyclic, with long term trends.
In times of obvious national crisis Ts tend to find a status in society otherwise unattainable. ("We need skilled thinkers and administrators to save us!").
Otherwise, in easier times , people are lazy and complacent and either prefer entertaining and good looking people, and/or those who know how to "massage" them emotionally. Socially adept people who are otherwise numbskulls tend to win. Cheats and deceivers too, depending on the moral climate - which is also cyclic.
The setup also changes with the male/female domination cycle. Generations where matriarchy rules tend to be more F focused than male dominated societies and periods.
In American history some of these distinctions can be seen by comparing the 1860 presidential election campaigns with the 2000 one. Compare the NT campaign of Douglas vs Lincoln with the 2000 one. Can anyone imagine something like the Lincoln-Douglas debate during f.i. the social climate of the 1990s?
