Hi all,
So I've been exploring the official MBTI website, which is normally behind a paywall, and they have some interesting demographic statistics (by type) categorisable by age, education, ethnicity, gender, occupation, organisation, situation (employment), and sector.
For me, the most interesting set of stats were the generational data - seeing how different generations have different type distributions (though of course this is biased towards typical test-takers, &c.).
For example, comparing ALL with the youngest generation:
Rarity of types: all
ISTJ - 11.8%
ESTJ - 11.8%
ENFP - 10%
ESFJ - 8.4%
ISFJ - 7.3%
ESFP - 6%
ESTP - 5.9%
ENTP - 5.7%
INFP - 5.1%
ISTP - 4.8%
ENFJ - 4.6%
ISFP - 4.2%
ENTJ - 4.2%
INTP - 4%
INTJ - 3.3%
INFJ - 2.8%
Age group: 14-17
ENFP - 19.5%
ESFP - 10.6%
INFP - 8.7%
ESFJ - 6.9%
ESTP - 6.1%
ENTP - 6.1%
ISFP - 5.8%
ENFJ - 5.4%
ISFJ - 5.4%
ESTJ - 5.3%
ISTJ - 5.2%
ISTP - 4.4%
INTP - 4%
INFJ - 3%
ENTJ - 1.8%
INTJ - 1.7%
In other words, expect the Pixie Revolution to start in about 2027.
Or maybe... a generation of FP snowflakes (@Pin).
