Now let's take a look at female National Merit Finalists (again, top 0.3% of the academic field), see graph below (source: technotheoria.org/p/mbti-explain…). Female INTJs make up roughly 0.8% of all women (4 out of 500); among National Merit Finalists they are quite common (8.8%). For comparison, ESFPs, which are regarded as very common (third most common type among women), account for roughly 10% of all women. The four INxx types show a similar distribution and overrepresentation pattern to that among men (these lucky astrologists!): They make up roughly 9% of the overall female population but more than 40% of National Merit Finalists. Among men, all INxx types account for 13.4% of the overall male population but roughly 49% of all National Merit Finalists. The overrepresentation ratio is similar (4.4 among women, 3.7 among men). When you just look at the xNxX types it becomes spooky: The eight xNxx types make up roughly 25% of women in the overall population but more than 80% of female National Merit Finalists (among men: 28.1% vs. roughly 83%). The two most common types among women, who already account for more than 36% of the overall population, make up roughly 7% of female National Merit Finalists (to be honest, I would have expected them to even fall below 4% with their combined numbers). All eight xSxx types play, even when combined, only a minor role – just like among men, by the way. Put in numbers: All eight xSxx types in the overall FEMALE population = 71.8% Among National Merit Finalists = 18.1% All eight xSxx types in the overall MALE population = 73.1% Among National Merit Finalists: 17.28%. What I am hinting at here: personality type > sex, which can hardly be overestimated in its importance. Especially since INxx generally prefer to stay among themselves (= in INxx territory), predicting that an INTJ woman will find a lot more common ground with an INTJ man than with an ESFP woman (and vice versa) is not only “likely”, it is almost “safe bet” territory. There’s so much more to go into; I’ll probably need a longer Substack text for this (also to lay out why I can consistently test as INTJ although I am at war with thinking in terms of “efficiency”, and so on; well, at least with "efficiency" as it is commonly understood).

@MoschSabine @Kohlrabi82 Wie viele der heutigen Studenten kennen und verstehen überhaupt noch den Ausdruck "eine gute Partie machen"? Wohl weniger als 10%. Der Gedanke muß dann wohl völlig verlorengegangen sein.

@Kohlrabi82 @reservatiomen Das war vor 30 Jahren auch noch anders. Das Gros der Studentinnen strebte noch eine Ehe mit 1-3 Kindern an, hoffte an der Uni eine gute Partie zu machen. Dieser Gedanke ist völlig verloren gegangen. Die jungen Frauen wollen einen 4-Tage-Job mit guter Bezahlung. Möglichst bequem.

Was bei der aktuellen Studentenschelte unterbelichtet bleibt: a) Wie viele vollgültige Dummköpfe und Nichtskönner in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften insbesondere seit 2015 promoviert und berufen worden sind; b) daß auch auf der Ebene der Professoren allerspätestens in 10 Jahren überwiegend Ausschußware ohne überhaupt diskutierbare geistige oder wissenschaftliche Fähigkeiten zu finden sein wird (viel Qualität ist auch jetzt nicht zu finden). Alles politisch gewollt. Man will die radikaldysgenische Homogenität.

👇 John Gray, Enlightenment's Wake. - It can hardly be said better and more concise diagnostically... "Because political philosophy in the Anglo-American mode remains for the most part animated by the hopes of the Enlightenment, above all by the hope that human beings will shed their traditional allegiances and their local identites and unite in a universal civilization grounded in generic humanity and a rational morality, it cannot even begin to grapple with the political dilemmas of an age in which political life is dominated by renascent particularisms, militant religions and resurgent ethnicities. As a result, the main current in political philosophy, which remains wedded to the Enlightenment project in the particularly uncompelling form of a species of eviscerated Kantian liberalism, has condemned itself to political nullity and intellectual sterility. Political philosophy may have been reborn in 1971, but it was a stillbirth." [...] "The theorists of the new Kantian liberalism speak for no political interest or constituency, even in the liberal democracies to which their reflections are directed; few members of the political classes in their respective countries know what these theorists are thinking, and none cares. Accordingly, the thoughts of the new liberals evoke no political echo in any of the liberal democracies; the project of securing practical agreement on principles of justice among metaphysically and historically neutered Kantian selves arouses little interest, inexplicably, among the political classes, or the voters, of the Western world, or anywhere else. For the most part, in consequence, contemporary political philosophers of the presently dominant school are reduced to talking with each other, and to no one else, about topics of interest to no one else, least of all in the liberal democracies they are supposed to be addressing. In part, no doubt, the manifest political irrelevante of contemporary political philosophy, exquisitely ironic in view of the declared practical goals of its dominant school, is merely an aspect of the political marginality of the Anglo-American academic class itself. Its self-appointed role as the intellectual voice of an alienated counter-culture, hostile to its own society and enamoured of various exotic regimes - of which it knows, in fact, nothing - has acquired a Monty Pythonish character, as these peoples and even the rulers of these regimes have exposed their failings to a pitiless scrutiny in which the pretensions of their ruling ideologies have been devastatingly deflated."

Doch, ist dumm, weil unzählige andere Länder auch darauf angewiesen sind und man anscheinend unbedingt von China mal Dresche beziehen will (und wenn nur indirekt dadurch, daß sie Raketen mit der entsprechenden Reichweite liefern, durch die der Iran alles, was blockiert, noch so weit entfernt bombardieren kann). Es ist die Idiotie des Größenwahns. [S.E.]

@KritNat346187 Ist nicht so dumm wie es scheint, da der Iran Öleinnahmen braucht, um seine Leute zu bezahlen.

Hervorragend 👇😂 Da fehlt noch dieses gerade gefundene Zitat zur Abrundung; natürlich schließt die Satire mittlerweile einfach mit dem Zitat: [S.E.] @DettmannSimon @JacobAgnieszka @euradvok @LGcommaI @PanPagan @schwopi__ @KrotzProf

👇Treffend und mit einer gewichtigen Einschränkung lesenswert: "In seiner Analyse sieht Sommer etwa 20 Prozent geniale Studierende an den Fakultäten, jene Elite, der alles leichtfällt." - Bei 20 ohne "Prozent" dahinter würde ich auch schon laut lachen. Die "genialen Studierenden" sind schlicht die überhaupt Studierfähigen. [S.E.] ostdeutscheallgemeine.com/article/endsta…

Was aber auch jeder mit einem IQ von 115 problemlos begreifen können sollte. Von dem Thema sollte ohnehin jeder die Finger lassen, der weder weiß noch begreift, was Michael Ferguson hier👇 behandelt: daß ab signifikant über 130 sehr oft (!) proaktiv gegen solche Leute selektiert wird (insbesondere außerhalb von MINT). Warum wohl? Gerade unter den nicht an der Grenze kratzenden Hochbegabten (1% und weniger; 135+) wird man eher nicht die angepaßt Verhausschweinten finden, die ganz süß und brav die "richtige" Haltung vertreten.

Ich rate mal ins Blaue hinein und sage: Diese Studie bedenkt keine Sekunde lang, dass offen kommunizierter Konservatismus einem in Deutschland viele berufliche Möglichkeiten nimmt. Was ein Hochbegabter wohl schnell zu erkennen in der Lage ist.

@reservatiomen Welche Bib. war das?

Die Auflösung zu 👇: Bernard Willms: Die deutsche Nation. Kenner wissen, wie lächerlich das ist. Wenn es wenigstens Hans-Dietrich Sanders' Die Auflösung aller Dinge gewesen wäre, aber das ist nun wirklich peinlich. Die Leute, die solche Warnungen anbringen (lassen), können solche Bücher ohnehin nicht lesen und sind bei Sophie Passmann besser aufgehoben.

If you understand anything about my philosophy, let it be this: Truth is the highest governing principle from which all desirable things flow, like courage, which in turn enables integrity and thus loyalty. You can judge people very quickly by ascertaining their appetite and tolerance for truth. Easily offended people are treacherous people. If they are more comfort oriented than truth oriented, they are predisposed to extreme selfishness and thus treachery. You can literally infer someone’s entire capacity for virtue and dependability from their relationship with truth. The comfort preferring are weak and untrustworthy. Violent devotion is the highest relational orientation. It is equality through mutual supremacy whilst maintaining polarity. Paradox is fundamental, and intrinsic to all greatness. Not all paradoxes are equal, some are dysfunctional rather than generative, and it’s important to make that distinction. Truth preference is also God preference, because truth is a macro ontological expression of God, and so inherently beautiful even when the realisation is painful or undesirable or disgust inducing. The poetry of contradiction interwoven between all things that becomes symphony is God’s signature. This is a heavy distillation of what fundamentally underlies my worldview. So if you understand these things properly, you should be able to understand most of what I say, or at least what informs it.

@MehrkensCh Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek, Berlin.

@reservatiomen Noch nie erlebt, wenn doch mal verdächtiges zu haben war. Von was für einer Bibliothek sprechen wir hier? Uni-, Landesbibliothek, Stadtbücherei?

In welchen Büchern habt Ihr diese Warnung gefunden? (Mir als Intensivnutzer etlicher Bibliotheken nur einmal passiert, natürlich mußte ich hier die Beweismittel sichern.) [S.E.]

We are in deep shit. 👇 On the other hand, we can use this to figure out how to design future exams, because it shows which skills will be among the most important. Anyone who lets themselves be fooled by invented diseases in exams isn't made for a medical career. Those who can explain, in cleverly constructed cases, what is nonsense and why, and what is not, are the ones who really know their stuff. [S.E.]
