[QUOTE="The Barbarian, post: 76188843, member: 7989"] I'm actually INTP, sometimes ENTP on those tests. But yes, we're a very small minority among others. It's why we often feel like aliens when we are kids. The good news for us, is that as we get older, there's more of us in honors HS classes and college, so we fit in better. And fortunately, INTPs in particular tend to be quiet, but with big egos, so we don't worry too much about what everyone else thinks. I when I was teaching, I often gave the inventory to kids, telling them that the results they got were their own business, and they didn't need to tell anyone else what they got, but knowing this could help them study more effectively. For example, INTPs benefit by the 'big picture', so they should go to the back of the chapter, read the summary, and then read the chapter to get the details that fit into the overall concept. That would be completely wrong for ESFJs, which respond well to classic teaching ideas ("you need to build the foundation before you build the house"). Not surprisingly, most teachers are SFs, who are about 45 percent of the population. Does that mean that I had to vary my presentations to deal with all the different ways that kids learn? Yes. That's what it means. And to that end, I helped each kid find his or her own best way of learning the subject matter. Over the years, I've had a lot of kids tell me at the end of the term that they wished someone had helped them do this from their first day of school. Some NTs and NFs may never have been exposed to teaching that appealed to their strengths. You can read too much into this kind of thing, but most of my students thought it made learning easier for them, once they tried the methods that are said to be most efficient for their temperaments.
