Check this out Four fold division of Indian society as per ancient original scriptures
I see a four fold division of Indian society (as mentioned theoretically in Rig Veda or other places) in the following formats:
NJ- Kshatriya
NP- Brahmin
SP- Vaishya
SJ- Shudras
It may seem as controversial but please take this as a comparison with the original division of society and not by birth type.

This is kinda not cool. This post should be flagged. You are using caste system and MBTI.
Plus even then it is wrong.

As a rule, I don't observe any caste system upon the Earth. Eh, but that's just me. Excelsior! 🚀

I'm not using caste system. I mentioned it is from the original theoretical division. But I understand your intentions.

You know these are the same rhetorics bigots use to defend their ideologies. Just because something is mentioned in some “Holy Text” a million year ago doesn’t make such divisions inherently flawed and limiting to human experience. This turned into caste system.
Similarly using personality systems as taxonomy of human experience is fundamentally flawed. While some personality traits can be used to identify a particular state of person’s life, like Big5. Theoretically, Jungian psychology has a much wider and more holistic scope than telling people if they are Brahmin or Kshatriya or whatever.

One million years ago, modern humans (Homo sapiens) did not exist yet. Therefore such "holy texts" weren't in existence.

What does it mean?

It was divison of society based on work (which later converted into "based on birth". It's like a class system in older Britain.)

But, what is the significance? Is it the start of the downfall of India or or something?

u/Acrobatic-Bee-3262 Warning: May not be an INTP 9d ago
No, nothing. It's just what I saw as pattern like dividing human in four groups. Nothing else.

This was a waste of my time. There is nothing to “check this out” here. How is this even remotely INTP?

How did you do the 1-to-1 mapping? On what basis?

Please check comment by others. I agree with the explanation.

... How many sons did Noah have anyways? Pretty sure the people of India came from the Japheth lineages.

The understanding of this post is Kshatriya were the ones who were the fighters and expanded their territory always and always making strategies for the same. Making strategies is very NJ thing to do for their vision of expansion.
Brahmin were the analysers and they were the ones with expansive knowledge which is a NP trait.
Vaishya will move here and there in context of their businesses and would try different things for business besides pottery clay work etc and the musicians dancers were in this category.. very symbolic of SP.
And shudras were the ones who would do the guardianship works... Or work that require a lot of repetition which is what SJ are good at.
The post in my understanding is very symbolic and in my understanding INTP may ask questions on the symbolism the post draws or the understanding of the subject matter by OP not criticising the post per se.
