Episode notes
Why Intuitive Superiority Emerges
- Intuitive superiority arises when marginalized intuitives discover Myers-Briggs and pour past disenfranchisement into a sense of being "better."
- Joel Mark Witt and Antonia Dodge note this dynamic fuels toxic online behavior and division within the community.
Twitter Example Of Misread Intent
- Antonia recounts a Twitter exchange where a sensor perceived her comment as intuitive superiority.
- The sensor said past online encounters shaped their interpretation, showing how reputation colors interactions.
Why The Community Skews Intuitive
- Myers-Briggs content skews intuitive because pattern recognition appeals to intuitives, creating disproportionate representation.
- That concentration can amplify groupthink and romanticized narratives about intuition.
