Btw keep in mind my mother was ahead of her time. Which is why I feel more like a late civic/artist. But my personality type also plays a part in that....ISFP. This makes me happy that with time people will move in this direction and will become a bit more civil for it.
I'm not at all surprised. Not all members of a generation exhibit the properties of the dominant archetype. In fact, there has to be some degree of balance to keep things on a more or less even keel. A split of 20%/20%/20%/40% still leaves the dominant archetype in charge of the message. I'm sure the balance varies from generation to generation, but the pattern still follows.
I've always wanted to see a study done to see if the ratios of Myers Briggs personality types shifts cyclically and in sync with the S&H cycles. It's as close as I can come to an empirical proof of the cycle's existence. Better yet, I suspect that such a study would reveal stuff unexpected that we'd have to explain.
Yes, that would be a useful study, although fairly massive I suspect. The idea would be to show that generational archetypes mirror to some extent the Myers-Briggs archetypes. Perhaps, more SF types among Artist/Adaptives. More NFs among prophets, more NTs among civics and more STs among nomads, would be my hypothesis.
