Results: What Personality Types Are Designers? | Michael Roller

My inner chart police doesn’t like the inconsistent dominant characteristic placement and reversed P/J coloring, which kind of distracted from the whole point of the article for me. It’s neat to see his little experiment, however. Note that the sample size is quite small and is comprised of a self-selected audience, so take it at face value.

I thought it would be interesting to see how this small project’s results compared to the distribution of Myers-Briggs personality types across the general population. I made a quick n dirty stacked bar graph in Google Docs, so forgive the ugliness.

The figures for “Everyone” (the general US population) above are from a random sampling of 3009 people culled from a total pool of 16,000 using the 1998 MBTI Form M. (“Dolphin Cove”. Retrieved 2008-06-25.)
