Personality snapshot
Nowhere in the U.S. do test-takers lean more Turbulent than in West Virginia. Respondents are also the second most Introverted in the country and among the most Prospecting, so many prefer quiet time, open plans, and a steady push to improve themselves.
INFPs (Mediators) are 20% more common than nationwide. ISFPs (Adventurers) show up more often too. ENTJs (Commanders) and ENFJs (Protagonists), the outgoing planners, are less common than usual – no surprise in such a quiet, flexible crowd.
About West Virginia
West Virginia lies entirely within the Appalachian region, a rugged landscape of forested ridges and deep river valleys. It separated from Virginia during the Civil War and was admitted as a state in its own right. Coal mining shaped much of its history, and today the New River Gorge, spanned by a long steel arch bridge, draws visitors for whitewater rafting, climbing, and hiking.
