Personality snapshot
People come first for this group of test-takers. They rank 10th of all ranked countries for Feeling and lean more Turbulent than most, so their decisions tend to start with others’ needs, and they are quick to question themselves. The surprise is a sturdy Sentinel streak alongside the many Diplomats: ESFJs (Consuls) are 56% more common than in the average country, and ESTJs (Executives) also turn up more often. Analysts such as INTJs (Architects) are rarer than usual, leaving a smaller share for logic-first personalities.
About the country
Ireland covers most of an island in the North Atlantic, west of Great Britain. Its mild, rainy climate keeps the land famously green, and the Cliffs of Moher drop more than 200 meters into the ocean. Newgrange, a passage tomb in the Boyne Valley, is older than Stonehenge and the pyramids of Giza. The country is the home of hurling, an ancient stick-and-ball sport, and has produced four Nobel laureates in literature, including Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney.
