I came up with a theory in the shower... Potential users of Bitcoin are probably intuitive. I arrived at that after hearing a smart man try to coherently explain Bitcoin by dumbing it down, but still failing because he was speaking in abstracts. The moderator eventually tried presenting her understanding as "so geeks get together and solve problems on their computers, and then some other guys with computers look over the solution and determine whether it's right or not so they can figure out if they should give him $5000 or so in these coins - and that.... moves over a billion dollars??"

With the rise of "online lives" (whether escapism, social media addiction, or something less negative-sounding), will there be a flip in general population demographics where more people are intuitive than sensing?

google (or microsoft,apple) hangs out with you nearly every second of your digital life.
I'm glad I'm that old that I didn't have to spend my whole childhood with that fucker.
It's frightening that younger generations will be analyzed and observed from the first day they'll use a computer/smartphone to becoming an adult.
That opens another level of perversion for marketing strategies.

well a nice little ghost doesn't let me see this site and when I unblock i get the message where google tells me how to activate cookies.
looks like I'm doing something totally wrong here...   Smiley
Apparently. Google is telling me all sorts of stuff I didn't know about myself. For example, I now am interested in bicycles and East Asian music. Cheesy

funniest recommendation i saw before using ghostery was a bunch of caviar adverts after searching for a western digital harddisk named caviar blue.
it's always hard not to laugh in presence of employees when i have to configure some computers at work. You wouldn't believe what kinds of stuff usual office workers are googling during their worktime.

Are you White? Good news - I just talked to my supervisor, and we're going to purge all Caucasians from our databases so we can better-target the real terrorists. -But, the software won't know you're White unless you suggest it - so at least fill out the "language spoken" and "religion" poll. For your own good. Thanks!

How do these polls prove someone is white?
It can prove, with 70% certainty (well above the minimum threshold of 50%), that somebody is White, which eventually brings us to a 20% certainty that the person is a US citizen - as a separate addition to usual routines, making it almost impossible (90% certain) that an English-speaking Christian will be targeted.

80% of Americans are white. With your logic, being American "proves", with 80% certainty, that one is white.
Yes.

According to the personality test, I'm not supposed to be a libertarian Roll Eyes. Maybe I should read some Karl Marx...
Then again, Ron Paul ≠ libertarian...

Also, for religion, what about Shintoism?
If there are a bunch of "Other" responses, I'll modify the list. I generally look for options with a low number of responses, and merge that option with others (or "Other") to make room for responses which are most common in comments, but don't have an option representing them. Won't be until 2014, though... but this is something I have no problem doing for years. It'd be interesting to be able to see cross-sectional data (for instance, occupation and education by personality type), but I'd have to point people to an external survey service, and figure there'd probably be many less responses, where there probably wouldn't even be enough responses to get any kind of confidence in cross-sectional data even without adding that hassle. Ramble, ramble ramble...

I'm curious -- which type did it spit out at you?

You have moderate preference of Extraversion over Introversion (56%)
You have distinctive preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (25%)
You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (22%)

This is from an earlier test I did yesterday. I might try the first link once I get the time.
