  1. Now we all know just how 'neutral' and 'objective' 'western science' really is. Hahaha! One would imagine that R1b is the most diverse from this chart, when infact it is actually the least.

  2. Has anyone taken a survey, or written a paper, on whether a larger percentage of Haplogroup R2a has a tendency to also be INFP? There may be disagreement as to whether this is even a legitimate question to ask. INFP refers to Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving. I was told that no more than 2% of Ashkenazi Jews are R2a and I was also told that no more than 2% of the general population test INFP. Is this a coincidence or is there some correlation between the two? Now I realize that many of you may not accept the concept of INFP. Never the less, there may be another way to state the same thing. When confronted with conflicting beliefs, if you are INFP, the chances are you will keep thinking about it and be less willing to let go of your emotions surrounding conflicting beliefs. For example, thoughts about orthodoxy, diversity, and democracy. Most people may have these thoughts occasionally, but then let them go and stop thinking about them. Are you constantly looking for cleavages between actions and beliefs on both an objective an emotional level? I have found this tendency in myself and wonder if those who are both Ashkenazi Jews and R2a do this more? Again, I'm not sure if this is a legitimate question to ask, and I am not sure if I should even be asking this question at all in this forum. It does not directly relate to DNA, but I am curious whether others have had similar thoughts. Do we have a collective memory that ties our experiences together rather than just a DNA match on a chart?
