i think T and F are evenly distributed when accounting every person rather than just the United States but what does that even mean? That some of the american women testing as F are lying?

Well it could suggest that the environment has a greater degree of control over the outcome of one's personality than biology.

Edit: Or at least its (the person's personality) manifestations.

Thing is, the stats so far come mostly from business settings in Japan...

I'd type Japan and the Japanese as mostly SF. Be realistic, practical and think of others. The cultural ideal seems to be SF at least.

In NZ it's all about the lifestyle eh.

So what type is Godzone?

Japanese as SF? (Esfj, Isfj, Esfp, Isfp) Really? I don't know about the F part but I guess if i was going to stereotype what their culture values (and this is a big if) I would say ISJ.

T and F are equally distributed everywhere, at least according to keirsey, and i believe it. now, socially Ts are more accepted when it comes to males, and Fs when it comes to females (<- super generalization ->). this is when you get F guys trying to be badass and manly and you get T girls trying to be...well more F for lack of better words. i know that there is a difference between I vs E and S vs. N (85% vs 15%).

EDIT:

and i still think japanese culture looks well upon SJ and NT. Work hard to be smart. The seem to have a thing for respect as well as wisdom/knowledge. Then again, I dont know much about the Japanese. Also SF notation is a tad vague. Like mentioned above: ESFP ESFJ ISFP ISFJ. There is a big difference between an SFP and a SFJ. That is why they make the temperaments.
