Personality snapshot
Intuitive answers still outnumber Observant ones, but these test-takers are the third most Observant in the U.S. That practical streak shows up in the types. Sentinels are much more common than across the country, led by ESFJs (Consuls), who appear 61% more often than nationally. Analysts, from INTJs (Architects) to ENTJs (Commanders), are less common. Respondents are also slightly more Judging and Feeling than the U.S. as a whole, so plans and people both matter.
About Iowa
Iowa lies in the heart of the Midwest between the Mississippi River to the east and the Missouri River to the west. Rich prairie soils make it one of the country’s leading agricultural states, known for corn, soybeans, and hogs, and insurance and manufacturing are also important industries. Each summer, the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines draws visitors from across the region.
