Personality snapshot

More than a million test results came in, and they sit almost exactly where the U.S. as a whole does. Test-takers follow the national pattern closely. They lean Intuitive and Turbulent, and Diplomats are the largest Role by a wide margin.

The one quiet twist is in how decisions get made. Respondents still lean Feeling, but they’re only the 40th most Feeling of the states and D.C., so logic carries slightly more weight than in most states.

About Texas

Texas spans the Piney Woods and Gulf Coast in the east, the plains of the Panhandle, and the deserts and mountains of the west. The Texas Revolution, remembered at the Alamo in San Antonio, led to a period as an independent republic before Texas joined the Union. Energy, agriculture, and technology drive its economy, and Houston is home to NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
