Personality snapshot
This state comes close to a portrait of the average American test-taker, with a slight tilt toward big ideas. Respondents lean Intuitive and Turbulent, rank 8th for the Intuitive trait, and include slightly more Analysts than the U.S. as a whole. Diplomats are still the largest Role by far. ESFJs (Consuls) and ESFPs (Entertainers) are each somewhat less common than nationally, so sociable, here-and-now personalities are a little harder to find among these test-takers.
