The ISTJ – 15.9% of the National Sample.The Rarest to Most Common Myers-Briggs® Types. ![]() I am not concocting this information but getting it directly from The Myers-Briggs Company itself (specifically page 165 MBTI® Manual – Fourth Edition). The results were taken from a sample of 16,773 individuals from 23 different countries. All the data in this article is taken from the newest official MBTI® Manual, published in 2018. This article has been extremely controversial and the source of many angry comments and emails since I published it. Not sure what your personality type is? Take our new personality questionnaire! Before You Write That Angry Comment… Even the most common personality type only makes up 15.9% of the global sample that was used for the survey! This means that regardless of your type there’s a good chance that you feel misunderstood. Having a common personality type doesn’t mean that you will automatically fit in and feel deeply understood. “But my personality type is common and I still feel misunderstood!” We’re ranking the 16 personality type from rarest to most common, but this article is by no means saying any personality types are better than others. For more information on this national sample, you’ll need to pick up a copy of the MBTI® Manual – Fourth Edition. Plus many people feel that being rare is the equivalent of being “best.” Today we’re going to take a look at the rarest MBTI® (Myers-Briggs) personality types as taken from a national sample of 16,773 individuals from 23 different countries. ![]() The answers can be confusing, because statistics and surveys change from year to year. INTP is the most common NT type while INTJ is the rarest, but the gross difference is less than 1% (and relative difference is about 4 INTJs per 5 INTPs).These are questions I get asked daily as an MBTI® practitioner. PS2: The NT types in World Projection are quite similar in % of each other, by ENTJ and INTJ being close to 3.5%, ENTP close to 4% and INTP being slightly more than 4%. PS: The rarest type in World Projection is INFJ (slightly below 2%, while ENFJ is a little bit less than 2.5%). South Africa (A) is for South Africa local language, while South Africa (E) is for South Africa English language. China (SC) is for Simplified Chinese and China (TC) is for Traditional Chinese. There are some few pages around typing countries and this is the realistic version of Countries as MBTI types.Ĭanada (FR) is relative to the French speaking side of Canada (that is 20-30% of Canadian Population). I also corrected this bias in World (P).ĬAT = Country As a Type. ![]() (*) means that the country has a non-representative sample, meaning that it is biased (generally a big ESTJ and ENTJ boost and an underestimation of ISFPs and INFPs). The estimation method is more or less complicated, but in short, it mainly involved putting weights on the countries based on their populations and multiplying South Africa due to being the only country representing Africa (this is not the average India and China has way more weight than small countries such as New Zeland). The world population here is projected for the whole world (and less precise). I do not own and basically compiled it (and make the World Population Estimation). Source: Official MBTI (MBTI Manual Supplements). Some other few pages uses the US MBTI percentages with the MBTI World Population label (or something like that) instead of the World Population. Some few pages uses their test takers as a measure for MBTI population, but usually Introverted Intuitives types takes way more tests than Extraverted Sensors, making the results a lot INFP and INTP biased. Important: Many websites claims a mistaken MBTI distribution on the world population.
