MBTI statistics from our own test completions

Last updated: 2026-08-08 · 80,848 test completions in total

Across 10,882 test completions where the answers decided all four preferences outright, the most common type is INFP at 13.5% and the rarest is ENTJ at 1.8%.

This page publishes aggregate statistics from the people who have taken our test. It is original data — we collected it ourselves, and it is not available anywhere else. Read the methodology and limitations below before quoting any figure: this measures our own 8-question instrument, not the official MBTI.

Type distribution

How often each of the sixteen types comes out of our test.

The percentages in this section are based on 10,882 completions — the ones where the answers decided all four preferences outright, out of 80,848 in total. That is the number to quote alongside any figure from this section. See the methodology below for why the rest are excluded.

E/I E — Extraversion# 31.0% 3,369
S/N S — Sensing# 41.7% 4,541
S/N N — Intuition# 58.3% 6,341
T/F T — Thinking# 43.5% 4,735
T/F F — Feeling# 56.5% 6,147
J/P J — Judging# 46.4% 5,047
J/P P — Perceiving# 53.6% 5,835

How people answer each question

The share of test-takers answering yes to each of the eight questions. As far as we know this data does not exist anywhere else, because it comes from the instrument itself.

Based on all 80,848 completions.

# Question Preference pair Answered yes
1 After a long stretch of time around people, do you usually feel drained rather than energized?# E/I 72.0%
2 Do you get more energy from being out among people and activity than from quiet time with your own thoughts?# E/I 48.7%
3 When you learn something new, do you want concrete facts and real examples before theories?# S/N 67.9%
4 Are you drawn more to patterns, meanings and what could be than to the details of what is?# S/N 72.0%
5 When you decide something, do you put logic and fairness ahead of how people will feel about it?# T/F 60.1%
6 Do you treat people's feelings and keeping the peace as more important than being strictly consistent?# T/F 69.8%
7 Are you more comfortable when things are planned and decided than when they are left open?# J/P 64.3%
8 Do you prefer to keep your options open and adapt as you go, rather than commit to a fixed plan?# J/P 64.8%

Each pair of questions approaches one preference from opposite directions, so a yes to the first and a yes to the second point at opposite poles. Do not add the two rates in a pair together.

Preferences by country

How the four preference splits differ between countries. Percentages are within each country, so they are not affected by how many people from that country took the test.

This section uses a different source. Country comes from our analytics rather than the test log, and is available for 9,158 of the completions in the table above (84.2% of them). Analytics undercounts visitors who decline cookies or block scripts, so treat it as indicative.

Only countries with at least 250 completions are listed, which is 9 of them. Below that a preference split is too noisy to publish.

Country Completions I — Introversion S — Sensing T — Thinking J — Judging
Australia# 352 61.4% 40.1% 33.2% 45.7%
Canada# 368 64.7% 42.7% 39.9% 45.4%
Germany# 281 74.4% 48.4% 41.6% 50.2%
India# 442 73.8% 36.9% 48.2% 41.9%
Indonesia# 500 72.8% 41.6% 52.4% 44.0%
Malaysia# 526 72.2% 46.8% 46.6% 46.2%
Philippines# 1,075 68.5% 40.4% 40.9% 50.2%
United Kingdom# 538 67.8% 37.7% 32.7% 49.8%
United States# 1,673 66.4% 41.5% 42.1% 48.9%

Methodology

The figures come from our free test: eight yes-or-no questions, two for each of the four preference pairs. This is a fast screening instrument, not the official MBTI assessment, and the results should not be compared directly with published MBTI norms.

The population is everyone who completed the test on quickmbti.com or quicktype.me. Results are recorded server-side when the test is scored, so the count does not depend on cookie consent or ad blockers.

The data covers completions from 2026-06-03 to 2026-08-08.

We count test completions, not people. Someone who takes the test twice counts twice, and we have 80,848 completions in total.

Because each preference pair has only two questions, a pair can come out exactly balanced — answering yes or no to both cancels out. That happened at least once in 69,966 of 80,848 completions, and our scorer resolves a balanced pair the same way every time for a given session rather than leaving the type undecided. Those completions are excluded from the type distribution and the preference splits, which use only the 10,882 completions where the answers decided all four preferences. The per-question answer rates use every completion, since a balanced pair says nothing about whether an answer was real.

All percentages are rounded to one decimal place. Percentages in a column may not total exactly 100 because of rounding.

Limitations

  • This is a self-selected online sample. People who look for a free personality test are not a random sample of any population, and the distribution above should not be read as the distribution of personality types in the world.
  • Eight questions cannot match a full instrument. Two questions per preference pair is enough to place someone on each axis for a quick read, and not enough to be precise.
  • Country figures reflect who found our test, not the countries themselves, and our traffic is skewed towards English-speaking searches.
  • None of this is clinical or diagnostic data, and no part of it was reviewed by a licensed psychologist.
