Personality snapshot
A small lean toward structure sets these results apart. In numbers that otherwise track the U.S. closely, South Carolina’s test-takers rank 7th among the states and D.C. for the Judging trait, favoring plans and closure a bit more than most. Like the country as a whole, they lean Intuitive, Feeling, and Turbulent, and Diplomats are the largest Role.
The twist is a modest rise in outgoing Sentinels – ESTJs (Executives) are 13% more common than nationally, and ESFJs (Consuls) are close behind. Both pair practical planning with a love of company.
About South Carolina
South Carolina extends from Atlantic barrier islands and Lowcountry marshes to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Charleston is known for its historic architecture, and the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter in its harbor. Manufacturing, including automobiles and aircraft, is important to the economy, as is tourism in places such as Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head Island.
