Illinois Personality Profile

Personality snapshot
Close to the U.S. as a whole on every scale, Illinois respondents still show a few slight tilts. Diplomats make up about four in ten test-takers, the same share as nationwide, and the types shift only a little – ENTJs (Commanders) and ESTJs (Executives), both decisive planners, are slightly more common.
The clearer differences are in the traits. Respondents rank third in the country for the Judging trait and sit near the top for Assertive and Extraverted, too. That points to a little more planning, self-assurance, and outgoing energy than in most states – though as a group they still lean Introverted and Turbulent.
About Illinois
Illinois stretches from Lake Michigan in the northeast to the meeting of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers at its southern tip, with fertile prairie farmland across much of the state. Chicago, known for its architecture and skyline, is a major center of finance, transportation, and culture. Springfield preserves the home and tomb of Abraham Lincoln, who lived and practiced law there.
