Personality snapshot
Few states have test-takers as Turbulent as Indiana’s – only five rank higher. Self-doubt and a strong drive to improve run through the results.
Respondents still lean Intuitive, but they’re more Observant than the U.S. as a whole, and that shows in the types. Sentinels and Explorers both appear more often than nationally, while INTJs (Architects) are a little rarer. ESFPs (Entertainers) turn up more often too, but the biggest jump is in ESFJs (Consuls), who are 29% more common.
