Here's some more fun facts!

The personality types are also organized into four broad temperament groups, Intuitive Feelers (the Idealists), Intuitive Thinkers (the Rationals), Sensing Judgers (the Guardians), and Sensing Perceivers (the Artisans). Here is a statistical comparison between the general population, and the poll results (based on the 23 current responses)...

.......................General Population......Borderline Population
NF- Idealist.......16.4%........................47.8%
NT- Rational......10.3%........................17.4%
SJ- Guardian.....46.4%........................21.7%
SP- Artisan.......27.0%........................13.0%

There are an unusually large number of idealists relative to the general population, which jives well with the borderline tendency to place their loved ones on a pedestal, then be devastated when they cannot meet their expectations! Also, idealists are known to be the most sensitive to criticism of all the types, and place the most importance on their relationships.

As an INFJ, I also find it interesting that this type is among the most common in the poll, while in the general population it is considered the rarest type overall!
