But the correlation between intuition and believing in cables does work, since intuitive types are the ghost story tellers, the religious ones and they find it easy to believe and go with their 'gut feelings'.
Sensing types are hands on and they could be intuitive and thinking but at the same time they like to interact with objective reality, they're the ones who mod headphones, built cables and write reviews.
Extrovert feelings types are the ones who organize meets and get everyone together and are life of the party. they might like colored sound or not but they'll usually like what everyone else likes.
Then there is the introvert thinking types who are the ones who argue strongly against cables and any other esoteric idea which does not match with their logical framework. They're interested in why a headphone sounds good rather than what makes it sound good.

I think you've made a crucial error with regards to the cable issue because calling pro-cablers as "cable believers" is a form of question begging. By calling them believers rather than perceivers, you have already stated that:
1) cables do not change sound
2) pro-cabler's are not trusting their ears
3) cable effects are akin to religion rather than science/technology
And of course the 3rd implication implies an entirely new set of problems. So to make any conclusion or statement regarding "Cable believers" stating that they are -Intuitive- is inherently problematic. A sensing person may very well be a pro-cabler because they sense it!
Additionally extroverts don't necessarily follow the crowd, to be honest most people who are the "life of the party," are usually people who go against the grain. I would attribute being an extrovert more with how a person carries themselves and how they behave -this as no baring on how they feel about certain topics (eg the colouring of music).
Your comment with regards to sensing type and objective reality is also very puzzling considering that objective reality implies beyond sensing because sensing would be subjective reality -
your sensing it!
If you're an introvert, I doubt you'd argue much about anything with anyone -unless its on an internet forum. Introverts usually keep to themselves and would more than likely keep to themselves in meetings and gatherings (unless you have a good enough host to bring them out of their shells). But for the most part, this is once again a personality type not a "preference type" so citing their preference to the anti-cabler camp is a bit of a stretch since it has no connection to their personality. The last comment is a bit puzzling, if you wonder why a pair of headphones sound good, aren't you also wondering what makes them sound good?
