Personality snapshot
Only three ranked countries come out more Turbulent than Italy, so self-doubt and a strong drive to improve run through these results. They’re also among the most Feeling of any country and more Intuitive than average, and nearly half are Diplomats.
ENFJs (Protagonists) and INFJs (Advocates) both turn up more often than usual. Explorers are thinner on the ground, especially ESTPs (Entrepreneurs). One thing sits right at the average: the balance between Introverts and Extraverts, which tips only gently toward Introversion.
About the country
Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula reaching into the Mediterranean Sea, with the large islands of Sicily and Sardinia off its coast. The Alps rise along its northern border, the Apennines run down its length, and Mount Etna on Sicily is one of Europe’s most active volcanoes. Two independent states, Vatican City and San Marino, lie entirely within its borders. Italy gave the world opera, the piano, and the electric battery, and Naples is the birthplace of pizza.
