Personality snapshot
Self-doubt runs a little higher than usual in these results – respondents are the 8th most Turbulent of all U.S. states, so they tend to question themselves while pushing hard to improve. The surprise is a bolder, hands-on streak. Test-takers are slightly more Observant and Prospecting than the U.S. as a whole, with their Judging and Prospecting answers almost perfectly balanced. INTJs (Architects) are rarer, while ESTPs (Entrepreneurs) and ESFPs (Entertainers) are each 18% more common than across the U.S.
About Louisiana
Louisiana sits on the Gulf Coast, where the Mississippi River reaches the sea through a broad delta of wetlands and bayous. Its French and Spanish colonial past still shows in its parishes, which take the place of counties, and in the Cajun and Creole traditions known for their music and food. New Orleans is widely regarded as the birthplace of jazz.
