That's obvious, but what you see isn't always what you get, eh?Originally Posted by niffweed17
take a close look at the nature of this forum. take a look at the proportion of intuitives to sensory types on this forum. what you see is hardly an accident.
I have a new theory - based on assorted readings, years of observations and experiences, and lots of reasons - that many ESFp Fi subtypes frequently test as INFx's. So I'm giving it a whirl.
There's no reason to believe that S types are so substantially less interested in online forums than N types, nor even theories, that they're virtually absent. Low numbers, I'd certainly expect. But to this degree? I've known S engineers, computer programmers, loungechair theologians, and such who were also very active in online forums, discussing information and theories according to their interests. And I've encountered a few S types who adamantly insist they're N's, and regularly talk socionics online.
Not to mention - there is no reason to believe that N's are profoundly more attracted to the internet than S's, anyway. For all its "N-ness," the internet strikes me as being pretty S, if you think about it ~ certainly high potential for stimulation and activity (depending on one's browsing style!), instant gratification (speed/variety), not to mention the increasing emphasis images. After all, we're talking about using it - not coding and configuring content management systems for it. And ESFps are always hungry for info per their hidden agenda, are they not? Aren't these types known for being mercurial in nature? One would think more of them would be interested in "learning who they really are" ... and search these forums more than what I'm seeing so far.
Anyway, it's just a surprise to visit the "Gamma Quadra" here and hardly encounter any ESFps. Yes, I'd assume there'd be a small percentage ... but ??? Then again, there don't seem to be many regular contributors anyway, so that's probably the primary reason. Still new and surveying the horizon here.
