Greetings Vegans/Vegetarians;
I was having a discussion today about vegans and possible correlation between different types of Keirsey Temperments. I hypothesized that a large majority of Vegans and Vegetarians would belong to a specific group of Keirsey temperments, the Idealists (NFs- ENFP, ENFJ, INFJ, INFP). However, I haven't found any specific data supporting this, so in the interest of science, I thought I'd bring the question here.
Here is a link to the MBTI, which will tell you which typology you belong to:

If you would please fill it out, answering the questions with your strongest 'feeling' and post the results here, and why you became a vegan or vegetarian, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

My type is ISFJ:
Introverted: 44%
Sensing: 22%
Feeling: 44%
Judging: 33%
Is it me or the test? 22, 33, 44. Weird.
I became a vegetarian because I thought it was wrong and unethical for me to eat one animal while professing my love for my pets. It was hypocritical in my mind and the idea of anything having to die for me just so I can have a meal seemed ridiculous.

I became a veg*n for mainly health reasons. My body can no longer handle dairy, and most heavy foods, including meats cause me digestive problems too. So I had to give it up.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

INFP- Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving
I remember the days when we talked for hours; When we were young we thought we had super powers. We kissed the sky, expanding our minds; Thought we could fly, we were dreamers, and we'd never die. We were young punks, but we showed potential; It was us against the world, we weren't sentimental. We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks; And we weren't taking anybody's sh*t.
