- Test results:

Personality snapshot
In a profile that mostly mirrors the U.S. as a whole, one trait edges ahead: these test-takers are the ninth most Turbulent among the states and D.C. They also lean a little more toward Feeling than the national average. That pairs warmth with a habit of second-guessing and a drive to do better.
Diplomats are the largest group. The type that breaks most from the national pattern is the ESFJ (Consul). ESFJs are 11% more common than across the U.S. and add a practical, sociable streak, while ENTJs (Commanders) are slightly scarcer.
About Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania stretches from the Delaware River across the Appalachian ridges to Lake Erie. In Philadelphia, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed at Independence Hall, near the Liberty Bell, and Gettysburg was the site of a pivotal Civil War battle. Pittsburgh, once a center of the steel industry, now relies heavily on health care, education, and technology.
