I usually come up INTJ. Which I always find amusing because in versions of the test that assign archetypes to the results call that one "Mastermind".

Myers-Briggs is a legalized excuse for employers to discriminate against introverts in hiring/promotion preference, for the high crime of preferring to read a book alone than attend a party.

Myers-Briggs is also basically pseudoscience that's about one step up from old Livejournal quizzes.

The only research it's actually based on was invalidated as obsolete decades ago. It's more New Age philosophy than it is psychology.

How can it be 3% of the population if everyone is Intp

Because 3% of the population =/= 3% of the people taking the test on the Internet. Or admitting to their results in a topic on a video game message board.

You're talking about a self-selected sample of a self-selected sample of a self-selected sample (sort of like how GameFAQs poll results almost never accurately reflect the real world). It could easily suggest that introverts are more likely to spend their time "socializing" on the Internet than extroverts are, and thus would be disproportionately represented in a self-reporting topic.

But also, the test is mostly bullshit.
