The R[evol]lution's Myers-Briggs Personalility Type

"Rationals tend to be pragmatic, skeptical, self-contained, and focused on problem-solving and systems analysis.
Rationals pride themselves on being ingenious, independent, and strong willed.
Rationals make reasonable mates, individualizing parents, and strategic leaders.
Rationals are even-tempered, they trust logic, yearn for achievement, seek knowledge, prize technology, and dream of understanding how the world works.
Rationals are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.
In working with problems, Rationals try to find solutions that have application in the real world, but they are even more interested in the abstract concepts involved, the fundamental principles or natural laws that underlie the particular case. And they are completely pragmatic about their ways and means of achieving their ends. Rationals don't care about being politically correct. They are interested in the most efficient solutions possible, and will listen to anyone who has something useful to teach them, while disregarding any authority or customary procedure that wastes time and resources.
Rationals have an insatiable hunger to accomplish their goals and will work tirelessly on any project they have set their mind to. They are rigorously logical and fiercely independent in their thinking--are indeed skeptical of all ideas, even their own--and they believe they can overcome any obstacle with their will power. Often they are seen as cold and distant, but this is really the absorbed concentration they give to whatever problem they're working on. Whether designing a skyscraper or an experiment, developing a theory or a prototype technology, building an aircraft, a corporation, or a strategic alliance, Rationals value intelligence, in themselves and others, and they pride themselves on the ingenuity they bring to their problem solving.
Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 7 to 10 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world."
That Def. described me... >_>

I updated the plot:
Is this our problem? Are we are only reaching out to likeminded people? How do we reach everyone else? Remember, the founding fathers were able to make the same case we are trying to and they were able to reach most everyone.

Many more INFP/INTP than would be expected if you just took a random group of people. I also find myself somewhere between INFP and INTP. I'm sure I'd register an INFP right now, it's my best side and my idealism is running at full steam lately. Thanks to Ron Paul and the movement for bringing out the best in us.

I think the biggest difference here, is NOT the introvert bias b/c of being on the internet etc., as some have pointed out... yes there are more I's here than in the general public, but it's not wildly different from the general public. (I'm mildly an E, by the way)
To me, looking at the graph in the first post, the biggest variation is Intuitive/Sensor... about 2/3 of the public are Sensors, but we are overwhelmingly Intuitive here.... willing and ready to try new ideas.
Sensors tend to stick with what is proven and conventional... and they're the majority. How do we reach these people? Hmm...
Stress, over and over again, that we want a return to our country's roots, not these new philosophies spouted in Washington only in the pretty recent years?

Apparently we talk in platitudes such as "Change" and the Sensors will listen.

I would really, really like that excel sheet. Those numbers are just amazing. In terms of percentage difference from the population. DAMN. PM me if you wouldn't mind sending that to me.

Yeah look at all the little bars in the back of the general pop. for the Intuitives, ALL overshadowed by Sensors....
Then look at us, almost ENTIRELY in the back as Intuitives...

But generally speaking, Sensors are resistant to change... they like the comfortable and familiar. Intuitives are comfortable with new ideas and change.
Or, if sensors are unhappy and want "change"... I think generally with regards to Presidents, that would mean they want to go back to a Bill Clinton style of President, something familiar and already tested--maybe that's why Hillary actually gets people to vote for her? Obama, even though his slogan is "change" and he is different in certain ways, could also be comfortable and familiar as he is a good speaker who uses anecdotes to illustrate his points, much like--you guessed it--Bill Clinton.
