A little Psychological Experiment
Is there a common link between readers?

I was interested in psychology before the pandemic but the last two years have taken that interest to a whole new level. You can read about propaganda and how to control people until you are blue in the face but seeing the whole world change overnight due to mass psychosis is something else.
It is clear from my previous poll that, rightly or wrongly, everyone thinks along the same lines. When asked what you thought the origin of Covid was, 791 of you thought it came from a laboratory whilst zero people thought it occurred via a zoonotic jump from an animal!
Ideally, there would be some opposing views on all these issues but unfortunately these topics are so polarising that doesn’t seem feasible.
So now I want to see if there is a common link that connects everyone subscribed to my newsletter. Is there a personality trait that make us think the virus was engineered and push back against the group think?
But before I ask the personality questions, I would be interested to know how many of you are vaccinated?
Next, I would be interested in seeing what personality types subscribe to this newsletter.
Myers-Briggs is a popular personality indicator which many of you may have tested yourselves for in the past. I will therefore use this one to save some of you time. If you have never tested yourself, 16personalities.com is a quick and interesting website where you can do so.
The results are divided into 16 categories looking at Introversion (I) / Extraversion (E); Intuition (N) / Observing (S); Feeling (F) / Thinking (T); Prospecting (P) / Judging (J).
Furthermore, there are four groups, each with four types. Analysts (INTJ/INTP/ENTJ/ENTP); Diplomats (INFJ/INFP/ENFJ/ENFP); Sentinels (ISTJ/ISFJ/ESTJ/ESFL); Explorers (ISTP/ISFP/ESTP/ESFP).
Which personality type are you? I have had to create 4 separate polls (because substack limits you to max 5 answers) but please only vote once. All answers are anonymous so don’t worry, I can’t see who has voted for what.
We need a category for "I have been shed on"
As an old codger, I got my 2 shots in early spring of 2021 when it looked like that was the best way to escape the draconian lockdowns in Illinois. (In retrospect, I was obviously quite wrong and wouldn't make the same mistake again.) I won't be getting any more shots - in fact, I doubt I'll ever get another flu shot.
