Hi, Are you aware of your Myers Briggs type? Do you believe it has an influence on trading abilities?

1-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0. INTJ should tend to be the most prevalent. Introversion is more valuable than extroversion.

Probably, though INTJs are rare and I believe other types are very relevant, the patience of the Ps, INTPs and ENTPs, ENTPs seem very prevalent in industry and advisory services. ISTJs are the classic conservative money managers, shrewd and careful. INTPs are great with the academic stuff. INTJs of course have natural advantages, they are confident, but that can also be a disadvantage, and their sensory skills are not as good, their thinking is extroverted [Te] and in second place, as compared to the introverted primary thinking of INTPs. Theres a lot more that could be said
