MYERS BRIGGS PERSONALITY PERCENTAGES MANUAL

It’s a Tie! INFJs and ENFJs are the Rarest Male Personality Types

The ISTJ – 15.9% of the National Sample.

The Rarest to Most Common Myers-Briggs® Types.

I am not concocting this information but getting it directly from The Myers-Briggs Company itself. The results were taken from a sample of 16,773 individuals from 23 different countries. All the data in this article is taken from the newest official MBTI® Manual. This article has been extremely controversial and the source of many angry comments and emails since I published it. Not sure what your personality type is? Take our new personality questionnaire! Before You Write That Angry Comment… Even the most common personality type only makes up 15.9% of the global sample that was used for the survey! This means that regardless of your type there’s a good chance that you feel misunderstood. Having a common personality type doesn’t mean that you will automatically fit in and feel deeply understood. “But my personality type is common and I still feel misunderstood!”

We’re ranking the 16 personality type from rarest to most common, but this article is by no means saying any personality types are better than others.

For more information on this national sample, you’ll need to pick up a copy of the MBTI® Manual – Fourth Edition. Plus many people feel that being rare is the equivalent of being “best.” Today we’re going to take a look at the rarest MBTI® (Myers-Briggs) personality types as taken from a national sample of 16,773 individuals from 23 different countries. The answers can be confusing, because statistics and surveys change from year to year. These are questions I get asked daily as an MBTI® practitioner.
