The ratios in this table seem to roughly fit the chart after you divide them by a factor of 2.

Fuck it, I made my own chart with those numbers:

Close enough

@Carl-Richard Alright so the data does exist, nice

@integral Cool chart, can't say I find it very enlightening for me. Could just be a random aid or thinking starter maybe. I guess I just looked at INTP position and was like "hey I should be further up spirituality, or I like all those things in the other quadra" lmao, but I realise its just an abstract chart rather than for me. Just me disliking MBTI.

Intuitives make up only 26.9% of the population, introverted intuitives 11.3%.

If intellectual giftedness is associated with the need for understanding and truth, then I guess this is one explanation

Haha smart people will always want to say they are 'intuitive' because their ego dictated so.

According to MBTI, I am supposed to be intuitive but so far in real life interaction, I have also said the wrong stuff, guess the wrong things many many times so I am not sure if I am really intuitive. 

I feel that MBTI isn't very rigorous especially for the second letter: S vs N. For many people, they can be both strong or passionate in Sensing and in their intuition. Like you can score maybe 75% for sensing and 77% for intuitiveness for example?

The model, on this locus, is Sensing vs. Intuition. People strong in sensing are, not surprisingly, sense-oriented (sight/scent/touch/taste/hearing). Intuition is a "sixth-sense", which is based on direct realization.

Yes but the 5 senses (even if you only just count 5 instead of lots of other senses we have) will somehow lead you to a stronger 6th sense. So Sensing and Intuition are not mutually exclusive.

In fact, one can even argue that being strong in Sensing will lead you to having greater intuition.

If you want a really good example of Se, look up TrainwrecksTv. He is a really great storyteller because of how he fills it to the brim with descriptions of external details. It almost feels like you were there.

Only if you are wise. Most people get caught up in the physical senses, not realizing there is more. You have to wake up to realize who "you" actually are. Sensing is the dream of intuition.

I made a mistake earlier. I think it's more of my lack of sensitivity (rather than intuition) that caused me to say the wrong things during social interactions sometimes.

@SamC  Um, SamC, it is possible that Preety was not using the slang term "you're not all that" and just meant that all of those qualities may not apply to you in equal parts, and that's possible for anyone.  We all have some parts that dominate over other parts.
