I was trying to expound on Austrian Economics on another message forum (for INTJs, one of the Jungian personality types) and the thread ended up dying because I was being accused of being insufficiently accepting of other viewpoints and being rude in the process. I disagree but would love it if some other Austrians would review the thread and see where I went wrong. Do I need to tone things down when I talk about this stuff? Was I out of line or are my opponents just pussies?
This will take some time so I appreciate anyone who reads through it. Thanks :)

Well most tests I've done aren't that accurate but using their analytical framework I think it correct that I'm an ENTJ and I think everyone I personally know would beak that assesment up.
The atoms tell the atoms so, for I never was or will but atoms forevermore be.

Spideynw:I am one who thinks it is pretty much crap. My guess is men almost always classify themselves as T's and women as F's. I would also guess most people classify themselves as E's, since extraverts are looked upon favorably in society.
There's a bit more to it than that. People don't really classify themselves... there is a test involved, then you have to be honest as you examine your possible types and determine the one that best fits you.
You're right that men are mostly Ts (about 2/3) and that women are mostly Fs (about 2/3). Also, most people are Ss (Sensors, i.e. those that prefer to take in information from the external world with their senses, about 3/4) as opposed to Ns (iNtuitives, i.e. those that prefer to take in information from the internal world with their imaginations, about 1/4).
However, the personality axis' are pretty well-written in the sense that one isn't obviously "better" than the other. Usually, each type comes away thinking their own type is just awesome, so there isn't as much of the "I wish I was that type so I'll pick a dishonest answer" sort of thing as you might think.

Not the best list for me either, but I do have Robert E Lee, which is nice. Just as long as I dont share a personality type with Keynes or one of the more statist Presidents.
