Missouri Personality Profile

Population (est.):: 6,270,541
Test results:: 184,490

Personality snapshot

Close to the national average on nearly every measure, Missouri’s test-takers lean Intuitive and Feeling, with only a faint tilt toward Judging. The types barely move – ESFJs (Consuls) are slightly more common than across the U.S., and ENTJs (Commanders) slightly less. Where these respondents do drift from the norm, it’s inward. They rank 13th for Turbulence and 14th for Introversion among the states, so self-doubt and a need for quiet time show up a little more often than nationally.

About Missouri

Missouri lies in the heart of the Midwest, where the Missouri River meets the Mississippi just north of St. Louis. The city’s Gateway Arch commemorates westward expansion, and both the Santa Fe and Oregon trails began in Missouri. To the south, the Ozarks are known for forested hills, springs, and lakes, while Kansas City is famous for jazz and barbecue.

Where does this data come from?
From people who took our free personality test over 12 months, from October 2025 to September 2026. We only use anonymous totals, never anyone’s individual results.
What are places compared with?
Countries are compared with the “average country”: the average of all ranked countries, with each country counting equally – so countries where lots of people take the test don’t outweigh the rest. Regional maps, like Europe’s, use the average of that region’s ranked countries, and U.S. states are compared with the U.S. as a whole.
Which results count?
Each completed test counts once, so someone who takes it twice counts twice. We leave out tests that look skipped or automated, and we score every language version of the test the same way, so places can be compared fairly. A country needs at least 10,000 results – plus enough for its population – to be ranked and shown on our maps.
How are states compared?
Using test results from people in each state, compared with the U.S. as a whole and ranked among all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Population figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Are the results representative?
Not exactly: people choose to take our test online, so test-takers aren’t a perfect cross-section of any country. Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Turbulent people are probably a little more common among them everywhere. Because that tilt affects every place in much the same way, comparing places still works. Where very few people take the test, we can’t be as sure, so we don’t rank or map those countries.
Is the test only in English?
No – it’s available in 48 other languages, and results from every language are included.
