Very interesting indeed. As an extreme N (93%) ENFP, I am very aware of often being the black sheep in society and the way it works as opposed to my way of viewing and interpreting the world and people. I wonder though, if you have any data on politically conservative Idealists? Or more insight into why the majority of N/NFs are liberal? What in their thinking/POV makes them typically lean that way? I understand our open-arms embrance of change per sae and our ability to be 'big-picturists' but I confess, I cannot then see a direct link to a liberal rather than conservative general outlook.
Also, and by extension, why might there be so few politically conservative NFs? Are there any Western Cultures you've looked at where one might see a greater naturally N society? I'm a political and biological scientist and find this topic fascinating to dig deeper into political trends and issues that drive voting behaviour. I'd be very interested to read more about your (or other) studies that you might have investigated in writing this article. I do hope you'll reach out. Thank you!
