Interesting results. They make sense, though. The goats that don't just do as they're told and follow the herd, might be expected to be introverts (used to acting alone), thinkers (used to using their reason rather than being pulled along by emotions), and intuitives (used to reading between the lines and inferring things based on hunches).
As an aside, I clicked only on the poll with my type, despite my desire to see the results. You're welcome.

INTP here, or at least that's what it said this time. Every time I take that test, the I and T remain the same, and the second and fourth elements wobble-- N/S, and P/J depending on what mood I'm in or something. I don't think the test is particularly useful for anything but the I/E split.
It seems fair to conclude that your readers are skewed toward people able to resist peer pressure, and introverts are overrepresented in this group. Extroverts care more about what the people around them think, and about their own image.
The N: It's being able to read between the lines, and think about the future. Your readers are above average on being able to smell the BS the media has been extruding, and wonder what it implies for the long term.

Thank you for conducting this fascinating experiment! I retested myself before answering your survey and confirmed that I am INTJ, and it makes perfect sense that this type would not only be the one most likely to spot fraud, lies, corruption, and coercion but also would be more inclined to call it out, which explains the disproportionate representation of INTJs in the truth/freedom/justice movement.
The Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational
Type Eight in Brief
Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self- mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.
Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny)
Key Motivations: Want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation.

I knew a guy once who had his type profile for his license plate. I have used the meyers-briggs many times in my work as an organizational consultant. for team building, communications/interpersonal skills training etc. for more serious work, like selecting leaders, I much prefer the Five Factor Model, aka Big 5. It has way more research behind it in terms of what it actually predicts. both have a place and this is a great application and very interesting. in case you're interested, the Big 5 can be found for free at https://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/.

I’m a rare female INTJ, and I’ve always understood this personality type to be a truth seeker. Being right is incredibly important to me, and I’ll always speak up, no matter how unpalatable or inconvenient that truth might be (even when I know it is to my detriment). Which pretty much sums up my whole approach to the shitshow of the past 2+ years.

WRT: " Readers here are more likely to be intuitive and therefore be more likely to spot patterns"
It depends what the pattern is. As an INFP, my auxiliary function, extraverted intuition (Ne) is adept at spotting/adapting to/playing with patterns in the outside world pertaining to ideas, concepts, etc.
However, I am at a decided disadvantage when it comes to doing the same with patterns pertaining to sensory data. The analogous function there is extraverted sensation (Se).
To give two examples, boxers par excellence Floyd Mayweather (ESFP) and Terrence Crawford (ISTP) were/are brilliant at observing their opponents in the early parts of fights, changing their own boxing styles to adapt to their opponents, and win fights going away that had--in the early rounds--seemed very competitive.
I once worked on a construction/demolition gig with an ISTP who had a remarkable untrained ability to "know" exactly how structures would fall when we removed supporting beams/walls. I couldn't do that.

Sorry, me again.
I was pondering on all this & wondering whether the number of respondents to your poll was a large enough sample to be as meaningful as it seems. Arguably not - realistically.
And then it occurred to me that the numbers are a similar order of magnitude to the participants in the 12-15 Pfizer trial, upon which basis millions of kids were subsequently injected with an experimental drug.
Very sardonically, but I laughed out loud. It would be farcical if it wasn’t so shocking & serious.
Outlier here: ISFJ/Defender (4%) & 2-dose vaxxed (4%). As a retired RN, I followed the C-19 story daily from the outset seeking information about prevention & early treatment. In 50 yrs of nursing, there's never been a condition We didn't try to "nip in the bud" or prevent from happening. I listened to Dr Kory's live address R Johnson's Congressional Hearing Dec 8th 2020. Starting in January'21, I made FLCC Protocol packets which I handed out to any and everyone who would listen. Some of us found reliable sources to purchase protocol medicine and gave it away to anyone asking. Our little band prevented countless hospitalizations and people got better in days.
Early on, I had decided to volunteer for any vaccine trials. At 70, why not? I hoped do my part of determining safety and efficacy. That was really before the tyrannical mandates.
Despite my introvert disposition, I remain committed to any and all advocacy and education I can impart in day-to-day encounters with people. I encourage prevention and early treatment & discourage the vaccines now. I find it works a little better to look for cognitive dissonance chinks and provide source materials for further consideration including how to detox post-vax. There are those with long Covid who need advocacy support as they work to return to healthy lives either after the illness from vax injury.
I'm pragmatic, not at all academic, so I am most thankful for Substack writers who provide a wealth of information to help me help others and tip my hat to this whole community.
I didn’t see the post for a survey or I would have taken it. Make of this what you will as I put myself down for these categories as described: Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Perceiver (INTP - Logician). (Not vaxxed, and believed sometime in March 2020 COVID was all a scam).
Thanks so much for this. I am INFP with 0 spikeshots and also did not vaccinate my kids born in the 1980s. I have 4 years of jungian training. I did research on the courageous personality. I posit we have internal locus of control vs external locks of control - meaning we are less susceptible to external pressures and conformity. Also lower on hypnotic susceptibility (Tellegen absorption scale) and monitors rather than blunders, sensitizers rather than repressors in wanting information. And more. I will write it up eventually.
This is so interesting. Thanks for doing this. I’ve always been an extrovert and the hardest thing I’ve endured is throughout all this is the ostracism of my friendship groups. I guess that’s a pretty powerful tool - it makes us so easy to control. Thankfully my husband is an introvert and has never cared what anyone thinks . When I answered the questions I realised I have become more introverted over the last two years!
This was a fantastically fascinating idea, thank you for investigating. Despite being "unscientific" and the likelihood of confounding variables, it really is interesting to ponder common personality traits among those who have rejected much of the pandemic propaganda. I've often wondered what made me different from the vast majority of my healthcare peers, that I rejected the woefully unethical mandated 'public health' policies (at the expense of my job, career and home) when few others did (that I knew personally, at least). I'm no more or less intelligent, I'm no more or less virtuous, and I'm no 'expert' in matters of science, medicine or public health. So what was is? I still don't quite know, but I enjoyed reflecting along with your analysis. As an ISFJ, a 'type' common among the 'caring' professions, I feel my actions have been congruent, but I'm at a loss to explain why so many other so-called "defenders" (sometimes also referred to as "sentinels") have enabled this unprecedented and unmitigated catastrophe. On the other hand, my husband (who is not a healthcare worker and who has thankfully been my partner in this entire experience, 100%) is an INTP. I'm sure the introversion can't be the sole reason for our alignment on this matter (nor with our many other introverts allies). This is certainly something I will continue to reflect on, no doubt, for years to come. Thanks again! :)
Very interesting. Thanks for doing the poll and sharing it.
I've done that test before, but I had no memory of my type. I did it again, and I am a number 2. This was telling, right?
The extroverts are not the ones spending hours down the rabbit holes.
Thanks for this...

INTJ is broken up into nine types (https://www.psychologyjunkie.com/2020/02/28/your-intj-personality-type-and-your-enneagram-type/), so it would be interesting to conduct a followup survey of the INTJs to see which type they fall under. I suspect most will be Type 8, like me, which is the Challenger.
Here’s the description from the Enneagram website (https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-8):
