Myers Briggs Type Indicator
Please provide suggestions on what sections of the article should be reworded, and where the scientific explanation of the dynamics is out of the scope of the casual reader. I would like to find the sweet spot between accuracy, readability, and this being the best place to find out what the MBTI is really about on the Internet. I have three ideas for new sections, although I am not sure if I should include all or none, so that advice would be useful as well. They include a section solely on the psychometrics involved, a section on the history of the indicator, and a section on temperament, which is not an aspect of the MBTI itself but is popularly believed to be on the Internet and elsewhere. Would briefly explaining what temperament is and how it relates (or doesn't relate) to the MBTI help in clearing this up? Thanks for your suggestions on this and anything else. -- Alterego at 1:18 AM on 10/22/2004 INTJ 09:08, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * The poll of Wikipedians I think is too self-referential; there should be a less navel-gazing way of highlighting the predominance of INTJ geeks on the net.
 * I will replace the poll with a link to the polling at the bottom of the article. Thank you. As an aside, there is a corner of the net for every type, although a few will be statistically non-existant.  Off the record, the large supply of INTJ and INTPs are due to the nature of the website we are on :)  Also, my preference, ISTP, are known as the "walking encyclopedias" :) - Alterego at 4:27 PM on 10/24/2004
 * I'd like to add that there probably is a better to way to represent the population breakdown in an image than with rendered text. Say, with pretty, multi-colored bars ;) I also agree that the Wikipedians poll is too self-referential. -- Fredrik | talk 09:32, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * The image I have placed is actually a screenshot of rendered html/css. I could not find a way to present it nicely on the right side of the page.  I am not sure how I could go about implementing your idea.  Do you have a way to do this?  Thank you! (i should note that i just added a section on temperament) - Alterego at 4:27 PM on 10/24/2004
