    If the MBTI statistics are to be believed (http://www.statisticbrain.com/myers-briggs-statistics/) (I think the typings for the socionics ones were skewered by the Russian-socialist-equitarian mindset they originated from, to sell a false dream that "there's a dual for everyone!") Ni types make up less than 10% of the population, and Si/Ne types dwarf Se/Ni types. I think a lot of Ni "cranks" or "seers" just get frustrated because a lot of people have Ni in their unconscious and don't really understand what they are saying. So they give up until some sexy Se type starts treating them like a court magician or something lol. I admit (ashamedly), I've probably done the "arguing with myself in front of other people" thing before.

    I also do not believe in russian statistics.

    They argue that population is evenly distributed between types because if not, some of them would extinguish. This is fucking ridiculous and whoever said this has little knowledge about genetics. If so, every human characteristic which has an alternative genetic expression should also be evenly distributed. Obviously, this is not the case. And if such characteristic is determinant in human evolution (I insist, if), the expression of its variants will not prevail in equal proportion, but in the proportion required for the proper working of the humankind as a whole.

    For example, the P/J proportion should be higher in former evolutive periods, when all societies were primitives. Its is required to take advantage of any opportunity as soon as it manifests due to harsh living conditions. But as soon as societies developed, they gained complexity and size. It would be required a higher proportion of Js (in comparison) because if not, there would be too much internal chaos and such societies would be unstable. The rising of agriculture in Neolithic has probably favored Js (just an observation, not that it is a bad thing).

    Beyond this, it's not like you can only marry with your dual... and I do not think that types are purely genetically originated. Some multifactorial genetic contribution, mixed with developing conditions inside the womb.

    About the "arguing with myself", I'm sure everyone has occasionally done it, because of the reasons you've pointed among other things. The "problem" would be if you consistently do it, but only because in such case any conversation is pointless...
