Oops. Not that many. According to the table at
http://www.trytel.com/~jfalt/Tables/stats.html
INTJ males are 3.3% of the population, 0.8% of the females. (If true, that
could explain some aspects of this list.)
Lawyers, it's claimed,
http://www.altmanweil.com/about/articles/article.cfm?ArticleID=157
are 13.1% INTJ, many more than in the population. Since elected politicians
often start as lawyers... (But they're probably the other ones, by and large.)
