ESFJs (Consuls) and ESFPs (Entertainers) are also noticeably more common, making respondents the sixth most Observant group in the nation and a touch more Extraverted than average.

About Mississippi
Mississippi is named for the river that forms most of its western border, along which lie the flat, fertile lowlands known as the Mississippi Delta. The Delta is widely regarded as a birthplace of the blues, and the state has produced influential writers including William Faulkner and Eudora Welty. Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, in the northeast, and a short Gulf Coast lies to the south.
