It's important to note that data on the popularity of specific Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types is not always readily available or regularly updated. Additionally, the popularity of each type can vary depending on the sample size and the context of the data collected. That being said, certain patterns and observations have been made about the relative frequency of different MBTI types.
One study published in the journal "Personality and Individual Differences" in 2009 examined the MBTI types of a sample of 3,672 American adults. The results indicated that the most common personality type was ISFJ (Introverted-Sensing-Feeling-Judging), followed closely by ESFJ (Extroverted-Sensing-Feeling-Judging), and ISTJ (Introverted-Sensing-Thinking-Judging).
On the other hand, the types that were reported to be the least common in this study were the INTP (Introverted-Intuitive-Thinking-Perceiving) and INFJ (Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Judging) types. It's important to remember that these findings may not necessarily represent the true distribution of MBTI types in the general population.
Again, it's crucial to understand that the MBTI is not a definitive measure of personality, and its accuracy and scientific validity have been subject to debate. The MBTI is based on self-reporting and may not always capture the full complexity of an individual's personality. As such, any conclusions about the popularity of specific types should be taken with caution.
Furthermore, it's essential to avoid assigning value judgments to specific types based on their popularity. Each MBTI type has its unique strengths and qualities, and no type is inherently superior or inferior to others. The MBTI is a tool for self-awareness and understanding, not a hierarchy of personality traits.
