New Jersey Personality Profile

Population (est.):: 9,548,215
Test results:: 220,894

Personality snapshot

Picture the typical U.S. test-taker, and you’re most of the way to describing this state’s respondents. Like the country as a whole, they lean Intuitive, Feeling, and Turbulent. Diplomats are the largest group.

The few differences are small, and they tilt toward the outgoing side. Respondents still lean slightly Introverted, yet they rank among the more Extraverted states. ENTPs (Debaters) are also 11% more common than across the U.S. – a modest edge, but it means a few more test-takers who love a good argument.

About New Jersey

New Jersey lies between New York City and Philadelphia, bounded largely by the Hudson and Delaware rivers and the Atlantic Ocean. The Jersey Shore runs along its coast through resort towns such as Atlantic City and Cape May, while the Pine Barrens cover much of the south. Revolutionary War battles were fought at Trenton, Princeton, and Monmouth, and Thomas Edison ran his laboratories in Menlo Park and West Orange.

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.
