MBTI Trivia - How to Spend a Rainy Weekend

posted by agammy

It’s going to be raining again this weekend in California, so it looks like I will be spending most of my time inside. If you are reading this blog from elsewhere in the country, maybe it will be an indoors weekend for you too (e.g. forecasts predict a high of 18 degrees in Minnesota and 11-18 degrees in North Dakota.)

There are only a few things you can do on a cold or rainy weekend - I will most likely be parked in front of my TV for much of the time, but I have several friends who are planning to hit the mall. (It seems to me that if you’re not skiing/snowboarding, these are the two most popular options for winter-weekend entertainment.)

Did you know that you can guess which activity someone prefers based on MBTI type? On a weekend like this one, some people will be naturally more drawn to the tube (like myself) while others are more inclined to spend their time shopping. (I found this out while playing around with Snapshots of the 16 Types. If you don’t already have this product, it is absolutely fascinating, and makes MBTI presentations much more relatable.)

It turns out, 26% of ENTPs enjoy shopping in their spare time, while 63% enjoy watching tv (which explains my weekend plans!) Here are some interesting highlights I want to share - let me know if you agree with the study’s results -

Did you Know? (TV Stats)

• The ISFPs watch television the most frequently of all types
• The INTPs watch television the least
• Overall, the Sensing types (68%) are more likely than the Intuitive types (60%) to watch television in their spare time

Did you Know? (Mall Stats)

• The ESFJs are the most likely by far to spend their leisure time shopping
• The INTPs and ISTPs are the least likely
• The ESFJs are 2.5 times more likely than the INTPs and ISTPs to go shopping in their leisure time
• The overall T-F difference is also significant, with the average percentage of the Feeling types at 41% versus the average of Thinking types at 27%
