I've also been noticing the same thing that others have commented on - from the findings so far, it seems like the more common personality types among raiders are actually some of the rarest ones in the original study. And there especially seems to be fewer E's and F's - the lower frequency of E's could have to do with the physical nature of playing MMO's, namely mainly being physically removed from eachother (ofc there are also some that play in internet cafe's). And the lower frequency of F's might have to do with the often demanding and very direct nature of raiding, at least progress focused raiding at higher levels - it being competative, often with direct objective feedback and high stress levels. Maybe this setting is "harder to love" for the F's? Then again we also know how much fun and social interaction we have, but maybe some of these other factors already contribute to fewer of the E's and F's starting to do raiding altogether? And finally it seems like there is a low amount of females posting their results - does this percentage correspond to the expected percentage of females in raiding guilds? And if not, why?

Br,
Henrik.

I've been thinking that the culture might be one thing which affects if you end up being an I or E. At least there are some stereotypes of Finns being a bit more introverted than other Europeans I think. I'd guess answers to questions like 59. You find it difficult to talk about your feelings? could possibly be tied to the local culture.

I think maybe, in a general form. But as a brazilian, following the stereotype, I should be comfortable to give a positive answer for most 'E' questions such as being with big social groups, talking loud and such. Or as a girl, it would be expected to be able to express my own feelings or so. I personaly think the interesting part is the exception, or even the differences among the equals.
I'm sure that on the same group of my personality result there would be some interesting different answers combinations! (Yes, I answered a big 'yes' on question 11.You often think about humankind and its destiny)

Edit: I noticed a lot of 'I's got the 67%. I wonder what that could mean.
