Judgers = J

are organized and structured
make plans in advance
keep to the plan
like to be in control of their life
want to finalize decisions


Perceivers = P

are casual and relaxed
prefer to “go with the flow”
are able to change and adapt quickly
like to simply let life happen
want to find more information
Did you watch the original Star Wars Trilogy? And the prequels.

Yoda argued with Qui-Gon about promoting Obi-Wan to Jedi. Yoda rejected Annakin, as too old, not really casual and relaxed (which is not Yoda at all), going with the flow, changing or adapting quickly. It is however being structured and organised, advance planning, and sticking to the plan. Hell Yoda even sticks to rogue Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas plan of the clone army.

Not buying Yoda the INTP.

It's possible that a large enough population may show clustering to specific personality traits, personality types are just trying to bucket personality traits. However, there are likely to be broad scatters across all political positions, because people don't always vote or identify with politics which complement their personalities, or even their own social and economic situations.

I think if you present specific issues you'd see much closer correlations.

I do...it seems like among left leaners, Ns are heavily overrepresented, as opposed to the conservatives where S types outnumber N types.

This is just an informal poll with far too small a sample size and ample amounts of self-selection bias and other biases galore, but it's interesting to see how at least in this context, S vs N seems to be the variable that has the most sway.

Umm, I’m 49 years old. I have seen all of them in the theaters as they originally came out.

If you want Yoda that badly, he’s yours. Lol.


See how adaptive I am?

I do have some “J” in me. In my profession, I always have to have a plan, and I follow the plan. When all goes well, I stick to the plan. But when the fit hits the shan, I need to be able to adapt and change very quickly.


BTW, these are not the droids you are looking for.

ISFP or ISFJ, varies. Independent, not centrist.

At the very least the Yoda personality debate was important. Not like the political slop we grind through in here daily.

I think the rebels are libertarian, not the Empire. The Empire is clearly the State.

Remember in The Empire Strikes Back Vader had to bring in the help of bounty hunters to locate the Millennium Falcon.

Typical bloated, inefficient, one-size-fits-all, lazy State: need a job done and done right you gotta go to the capitalist entrepreneurs for results.

They may be, ideologically, but practically, they used ends justifying the means. Think about it there were literally thousands of politically neutral contractors building both Death Stars. For expediency the Rebellion blew them up vaporizing not just the imperials, but those neutral contractors, working jobs to feed their families.Thats not particularly libertarian.

That's how it always starts, the good of the many...

Every one has both sides of the range, the whole exercise just helps to determine the dominant traits.
