Message: <blockquote data-quote="CRGreathouse" data-source="post: 862034" data-attributes="member: 474">I've finished up my spreadsheet.  If I ever clean it up so it looks nice, I'll post it.*****These numbers are based on the poll results as of 3:00 PM EST April 27.First, I don't have good statistics for EN World gender, but I've used 85% male as a baseline, and compared it with the all-male numbers to get reasonable bounds for the numbers.  I found that the specific numbers weren't too important when I restricted myself to looking at the categories (T vs. F, for example).There's a very strong tendency toward N over S -- 72% N compared to 28% in the general population.  Even accounting for gender, our sample has 2.6 times more N than normal.  (Chun-Tzu gave reasons for this, but that's not what I'm doing.  I'm just figuring out what the numbers are.)The survey shows a preference of T over F, but it nearly disappears when the male bias is taken out (48%, 16% corrected).There's a tendency toward Perceiving over Judging (~33%).Surprisingly, perhaps, the Introverted/Extroverted split isn't as extreme as might have been guessed -- there are roughly 44% (corrected) more introverts than would be expected.These preferences remain the same for the 16 category breakdown -- each IN__ personality type is overrepresented at least 3:1 (INTJ 4.2:1, INTP 4.6:1, INFJ 3.5:1, INFP 3.8:1).  Without exception, each _S__ is underrepresented when corrected for gender (the ISTP would be overrepresented if there was no gender bias).The ESTJ, which makes up 8.7% of the general population (11.2% of the male population), has only one representitive out of our 277 votes (29 would be expected in a representative sample).</blockquote>
