Interesting article, but the google trends he uses are quite noisy. It might have been better if he could have gotten trends from one (or several) of the many meyers-brigg test sites out there.
Google trends only track how "interesting" a topic is... not how many people have a given trait. So the second half the post is fairly bunk.
- ChaitanyaSai 17y agoGoogle trends are noisy, but there is still a pretty strong signal in there (http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2009/04/predicting-present-with-google-trends.html http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2009/04/predicting-presen...). And almost surely that signal is gathered from a far larger audience than the MBTI sites. That said, it would be interesting to correlate their numbers with the google trends.
