One of the common questions people ask after determining their
type is: How frequent is my type? The table below shows
estimates of the relative frequency of each of the sixteen types
in the United States
population.

Looking at this table, you can see the most common types across
the bottom two rows and in the left two columns. The intersection
of these two rows and two columns, the bottom left quadrant, represents
the highest concentration of the general population. Most data
suggest that those who prefer Extraversion and Sensing are more
frequent in the population than those who prefer Introversion
and Intuition.

The estimated frequency table was compiled from a variety
of MBTI® results from 1972
through 2002, including data banks at the Center for Applications
of Psychological Type; CPP, Inc; and Stanford Research Institute
(SRI).
