Wow. 30 points for INTP, 13 for INTJ while I'm writing this.
The timing for this poll couldn't be better. Just yesterday I was wondering about three things:
- How much of an INTP Paul Graham shows to be through his writing and his attitudes in regards to the development of Hacker News (both the software and the community).
- How much of the "initial" community would be INTP. It seems to me that many people came here because of affinity.
- Given that INTX are the least common group in the population (less than 5%), and given the way that PG is not willing to change the community "profile", this site is bound to have few users. Not because of elitism, but just because there isn't that many INTXs around!
These are interesting results. I'm an ENTP - which seems to me to be an extroverted version of INTP. If you lump those two together - it seems that the overwhelming people here are very, very similar.
