How Many Are There of Me?
People are often curious about how their personality 'type' is
represented in the general population. I did a little research online and in the MBTI manual and put together some averages. For fun, check out how your 'type' is represented in the general population and also how this representation breaks down according to sex.
I have bolded those most frequent and least frequent.
