I wonder if a lotta people like the stick because of how satisfying it is when you have all but a row good to go and then "blam!", five lines gone at once. Boom boom boom!

I hate the l shape. It thinks its too good to show up as much as the other pieces? Ugh.

I support the T because it exists to help us overcome the evil Z and the just as evil S.

Blasting out a number of rows with the I is just a cheap thrill.

It's massive points for knocking out 4 rows at a time - it's totally boss.

I like the S.   Sometimes a challenge makes life worthwhile.

So far no love for the block or "O" shape.   It's kind of a shame.   I'll go on record that it's my 2nd favorite shape.

Sure, the I is satisfying and big-money, but the T is a hard working slob, cleaning up the mess from tons of Z and S and L tomfoolery. Without T there to clear the lane, the I would not be able to drive and dunk.

There is no I in TEAM but it starts with T.

Slobs T not snobs I.

It also makes an incredible sound on the Game Boy version.

Tetris is all about getting a group to work together to accomplish a goal.  I think it shows what sort of personality a person has, especially if we assume that people prefer the shape that they most identify with.  So really, it might be useful for any type of job.

People who like Ss and Zs see themselves as quirky outsiders, happy to keep things interesting without being as helpful in accomplishing tasks.

People who like Ts, Js and Ls are hard working specialists who only rarely let their individualism get in the way of getting their job done.

People who like Os are less concerned with individualism than others, they know that if everyone else was more like them, there would be no conflict. 

People who like Is see themselves as more deserving than everyone else, as for them to reach maximum effectiveness, other pieces must sacrifice their own opportunity to be the one to score the points.

OH YEAH? WELL MAYBE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE Is AREN'T AFRAID TO STICK THEIR DICKS OUT AND GO FOR MAXIMUM POINTS. OR, YOU KNOW, MAXIMUM WORK-RELATED GOALS.

I'm an "I" lover and not ashamed of it.  Worthless Ns and Zs.

The I is great but that L just gets you out of so many jams.

The block is best. The other shapes are just trying too hard. Except maybe for the J. I find it interesting that it's mirror image- the L gets overwhelming,slavish, sycophantamogoric (?!) support. Poor J. That's it. I'm changing my vote to J! To hell with all the L lovers. We're tired of being ignored.
