Arkansas Personality Profile
- Population (est.):
- 3,114,791
- Test results:
- 84,231
Personality snapshot
A practical streak and a self-critical one both run stronger here than in almost any other state. Respondents rank fourth for both Observant and Turbulent, though they still lean Intuitive.
The real surprise is how often Explorers appear. ESTPs (Entrepreneurs) are nearly 50% more common than across the U.S., and ESFPs (Entertainers) are close behind, while INTJs (Architects) turn up less often. Add a slight tilt toward Extraverted and Prospecting, and this is a group that tends to jump in first and think it over later.
About Arkansas
Arkansas is known for its mountains, rivers, and forests, from the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains to the fertile Mississippi River Delta in the east. Hot Springs National Park preserves thermal waters that have drawn visitors for generations. Northwest Arkansas is home to major retail and food companies, including Walmart and Tyson Foods, and agriculture, especially rice and poultry, remains central to the economy.
