I wouldn't trust a MBTI personality score because the test is too susceptible to social desirability bias. But on the other hand, assuming that you "are" an INTJ and knowing that your manager "is" an ESFJ, you should be careful to consider social harmony [1] on top of efficiency that you naturally value [2] when taking a decision at work.
Now, indeed nobody is a pure ESFJ nor a pure INTJ. People tend to get hung up a little bit too much on the letters.
The test has low psychometric value but the underlying model is interesting [1]. I see it more as a checklist on what to consider about a person. Mainly: what is important to him or her?
My theory is that as a lot of people don't declare their full income in developing countries (and are quite tax-adverse due to a perception of high corruption), a way to redistribute is to tax "luxury" goods like vehicles or other visible stuff like the strata.
In regard to [1] your hypothesis is probably correct. There exists technology that dims the lights automatically when the volume level of an area is too loud, in order to make people lower their voices.
No paleogeneticist here but from what I know from : Andean people benefit from a genetic adaptation to high altitude and don't need coca leaves (Himalayan people also benefit from a different genetic adaptation). It does make work more enjoyable though.
Also, coca was reserved to higher classes in the past so laborers probably didn't have access to it. [1]
It's interesting to note that since the revolution the French legislators have had an universalist view of things. The goal was to spread the enlightenment ideas to the world (who said the French weren't pretentious).
Of course in practice things haven't always followed the theory. For example in French colonies, although indigenous people were supposed to enjoy the same protections than the French colonists, it didn't happen that way. The excuse was that they needed to be put "up to speed" first.
I'm not a constitutional lawyer but a subset of the protections seem to apply. The French constitution does an "include" of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. A constitutional court decision of 1971 has confirmed its applicability.
The French constitution references the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen which covers "all men, French, foreign, prisoners and enemies".
As a kid I played in these areas while my dad was cutting wood. It was rather exciting to find a shell as these were rare compared to other pieces of metal. We were just told not to play with them.
I remember that one day we found a shell buried not that far from a fire that my dad had lit.
I was young so I can't certify that we were in a "red zone" but it was in the woods around Verdun so there's a high chance.
Form my perspective: sometimes when I report a bug it's more so that other users don't waste their time troubleshooting it than to have it fixed immediately.
Finally there are issues like these ones that are not clear cut but that I can't investigate myself because it requires time and resources (they eventually cost me a few bucks running instances for testing purposes).

You guys have a good product. I think that the promise of not having to manage infrastructure hit a cord with many people. However you do have many bugs to fix to make the platform more stable and (non intentionally) discouraging people from reporting issues will make things improve at a slower rate.
I can't comment on the paid support. I've just noticed that the non-paid support engineers seems to be under pressure.
I feel little bit bad for them sometimes. They don't seem to have the time to look into problems. It must be quite a boring job for those assigned on the public issues.
Edit: it's not a snark, just a friendly reminder.
