Myers-Briggs
A thought crossed my mind while driving home yesterday. Are certain personality types more likely to hold Objectivist values than others?
Personally, I was thinking in terms of Myers-Briggs personality types. I am an INTJ and have always leaned towards logic and trying to make all of my emotions rational and logical to the situation. Maybe, because this is my personality, I was more likely to be drawn into Objectivism and similar ideals.
What is your opinion on this and/or (to get an idea of how many of us share the same personalities) what are your personality types?

Dangit! (LOL)
I have also taken the DISC, as well as red-yellow-blue-white, which is more of an organizational behavior test. I really liked that one (sometimes yellow is substituted for green) where Red is Driver, Blue is Analytical, White is Amiable, and Yellow is Creative.
I have found that personality model extremely useful in understanding others better, and to learn more about myself!
I've always vaguely suspected that we Objectivist types tend to be INTJ. I suppose it also explains why I find few people I can relate to.
Has anyone done research on relationships and marriages between Myers-Briggs types?
in later years, i was out in L.A. on a layover as a pilot with American Airlines...i met Nat for lunch...the subject came up that Ayn had commented in a taped conversation that she did not trust the psycho-epistemology of pilots...i asked Nat to comment...he said that she was very distrustful of putting anyone in charge of her life unless she knew them very well...Nat said he would trust his life to fly with me as the pilot in charge...
i have found many pilots with a similar personality type as mine...we are obsessive compulsive and find great certainty in a very step-by-step approach to life in a logically structured order. Yet other pilots were also religious...some would profess that if the rapture came while we were flying, that they would be lifted up and the rest of us would be left alone on this earth (oh yeah)...i would play with their mind by telling them that if i was in the lav during a rapture and he was lifted up and the plane crashed and the rest of us died that he would go to hell for not staying with us...most of them would have an existential crisis and worry themselves no end (what else do you have to talk about at 35,000 ft on autopilot from L.A. to Miami on the red-eye)....but i found that Objectivism and flying fit my personality desires naturally and logically...
