Personality snapshot
Here’s a quiet outlier: these test-takers rank second most Thinking among all states and D.C., even though they still lean a little toward Feeling and sit only slightly apart from the U.S. as a whole. That logical streak shows up in the types. Analysts make up a bigger share than nationally, and ENTJs (Commanders) are 10% more common. Respondents also lean a bit more Assertive and Judging than the U.S. – so their Turbulent lean comes with a slightly steadier, more organized edge.
