Based on your knowledge of the typical behavioral patterns of each MBTI type, which types do you think are more likely to become victims of bullying in school?
Based on my observations, most victims tend to be very bad at reading the situation, bad at predicting behavior of their peers, stuck in their head, bad with controlling their emotional outbursts, bad with understanding or finding patterns of behavior that lead to bullying.
I've spent roughly about maybe 9 months by now trying to determine my type, and through trial and error, for now I've settled with "unhealthy INTJ". Based on my school experience as an "unhealthy INTJ":
- I did quite easily attract bullies, but all of that was very short-lived. Because people who knew me well, knew of my tyrannical nature, and at all costs avoided getting on my bad side. Bullies who roamed my school but weren't part of my class, at first glance saw me as an easy target, but upon first direct engagement, always lost the desire to encounter me ever again. I wasn't particularly physically violent (although have been in junior school and enjoyed it), but I managed to quite easily force people into submission via subtle ques conveyed through eye contact, hand gestures, and style of verbal communication. Both of my parents display a similar talent at work, one deals with criminals, another deals with office workers, but both engage in successful "silent leadership", and both have been told to be "scary" by their peers.
I don't know if what I described above is typical for INTJ's, or if I simply learned that skill by imitating my parents. But what's your take on the MBTI vs. bullying connection?
