  • How is the order of MBTI type, ordered by from the most likely to celibate, to the least likely to celibate? Could you explain each type briefly?

    No apparent logic, I’m afraid

    1. INTJ: Poor emotional expression; has no equals; has more important things.
    2. ENTP: Can’t stand people — people can’t stand her.
    3. INTP: Misunderstood; smells bad.
    4. ENFP: Don’t like commitments; will have what she wants when she wants it.
    5. ISFJ: Likes solitude. If she wants company, company will come.
    6. ISFP: Already married to herself.
    7. INFP: Problems with bonding.
    8. ENFJ: Already married to Humanity as a whole.
    9. INFJ: Bad experiences, but doesn’t like being alone.
    10. ISTP: Needs company but doesn’t like chasing. One is sufficient and secure.
    11. ISTJ: Won’t make it alone.
    12. ENTJ: Won’t exist alone.
    13. ESTJ: Won’t have any power alone.
    14. ESTP: Will feel silly being alone.
    15. ESFP: Will die being on her own.
    16. ESFJ: Will simply never be alone.

     

    I’m not going to even attempt to rank all 16 types, but here are some famous celibates:

    Isaac Newton – Lifetime celibate – INTJ

    Immanuel Kant – Lifetime celibate – INTP

    Florence Nightingale – Lifetime celibate – INTJ

    Nikola Tesla – Lifetime celibate – INTJ

    Mother Teresa – Lifetime celibate – INFJ

    Ted Kaczynski (UNAbomber) – Lifetime, involuntary celibate – INTJ

    Buddha – Celibate past age 35 or so – INFJ

    Jesus – Lifetime celibate – INFJ


    INTJs and INFJs dominate this list, so I would surmise than Ni Doms are most likely to be celibate.

    I’ll note in passing than SP types tend to, as far as one can generalise, have high sex drives, so are probably the least likely to be celibate, and if so, involuntarily so. It also seems to make intuitive sense (intuitive sense, get it, lol) that Se doms would be least likely to not be celibate, so we will probably have ESTP and ESFP at the bottom of our list.
