Personality snapshot
ESFJs (Consuls) are the surprise here, turning up 42% more often than in the average country, and Sentinels as a whole are more common too. Respondents place 15th for Feeling and 17th for Turbulence, so they tend to put people first while holding themselves to demanding standards. Elsewhere these test-takers sit near the middle – mildly Introverted and clearly Intuitive, much like the average country. Analysts are scarcer than usual, with INTJs (Architects) falling furthest behind.
About the country
The United Kingdom joins England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland across Great Britain, the northeast of Ireland, and hundreds of smaller islands off northwestern Europe. Its scenery runs from Dover’s white chalk cliffs to the Scottish Highlands and the basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway. London’s Underground, opened in 1863, is the world’s oldest underground railway. Modern football, rugby, and cricket were first codified here, and penicillin was discovered in a London laboratory in 1928.
