Thoughts followed by stats

Oct 04, 2018 08:28

The first half of this post is rambling thoughts. The second is a report on a chatzy personality poll. Read on at your own risk.

( Read more... )

statistics, personality theory, pointless rambling, chatzy, thinking, psychology, mbti, probably a completely incorrect analysis, numbers, enneagram

Katie, this is intriguing - I am tempted to put the numbers into a spreadsheet and do graphs, because as an INTP that is how I roll...

oooh oooh ooh! can you make it so it goes from left to right from either bigger to smaller based on the frequency of the general population? So let's see.... could you make it go:

wait wait wait, i'm finding a different source for numbers and I'm trying to see if i made a mistake. dang it. just sec.

ok weird. I thought that the stats on population rates were pretty consistent, only off by a percentage or two as reported on different sites. But the stats from ISFJ are 7% of the population one place, and 13% of the population on these other places, and that's a big difference. ISFJ is potentially the most common type, but it isn't if it's only 7 percent.

Dang it. Maybe I'll have to ponder the differences and make my own graphs, but yours is so fantastic. except that I want the red lines in order from high to low. I'm intrigued to see if the blue lines would then go from low to high. Hmmmm.

ok, based on these other numbers.

and

Here is the correlation:
Global percent Chatzy percent
ISFJ 13.8 3
ESFJ 12.3 0
ISTJ 11.6 3
ISFP 8.8 3
ESTJ 8.7 3
ESFP 8.5 0
ENFP 8.1 12
ISTP 5.4 0
INFP 4.4 26
ESTP 4.3 0
INTP 3.3 11
ENTP 3.2 0
ENFJ 2.5 6
INTJ 2.1 14
ENTJ 1.8 0
INFJ 1.5 20

Okay, I got excel to make a chart. How to get it to LJ? Hmmmm. This might call for a new post. If I can figure out why the stats were different, and see how different they actually are, and damn, why didn't I ever take a stats class so I can know what I'm doing?

I did it! (using the new numbers; now I should compare to the old numbers)
