- Timmy, have you seen my plutonium anywhere?
I put it down right there, and it's gone.
You don't, you don't know where it is?
Okay, don't worry about it.
Don't panic, I'll find it.
It's okay.
Oh hey, how's it goin'?
(man laughs)
Why would I have?
(man laughs)
Welcome to the Statistics Laboratory,
where for some reason, I have plutonium.
In last week's video,
I went through the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types
in order from the most common
in the population to the rarest type,
which might not be the type
that everyone's been saying it is.
If you haven't seen that video already,
check it out in the card above my head, whoa.
In today's video,
we're going to be looking at statistics
of how prevalent each type is.
But we're going to be splitting it up,
looking at the differences in personality type
between men and women.
So for example,
while ISTJ is the most common personality type overall
according to the most recent data,
it isn't the most common personality type for women.
We're going to look at the,
the general letter dichotomies like introvert versus
extrovert when it comes to men and women,
what are the differences there?
We're going to quickly look at the rankings of the types
for men versus women from one through 16.
And then in the last part of the video, we're going to do,
perhaps the most interesting thing is look at each
personality type and say of this personality type,
what percentage are men?
And what percentage are women?
Before we jump into that,
let me tell you about this video sponsor and let's keep
going, because there is no sponsor.
All of these statistics I am giving to you today are from
the official NBTI manual supplement that came out in 2018.
First let's just look at the individual letter preferences.
When it comes to introvert versus extrovert,
men and women are pretty much the same, roughly a 60,
40 split for introvert versus extrovert.
Next, we move on to sensing versus intuition.
The way that we perceive the world,
we have 66% of women are sensing.
33% are intuitive.
Whereas 70% of men prefer sensing, 29% prefer intuition.
So while most people will tend
to prefer sensing whether they are men or women,
women are more likely to be intuitive.
Now the biggest statistical divergence we have is coming up
next with thinking or feeling, the way
that we make decisions.
Do we make them with logic or do we make them more with
emotion and value judgments?
So starting off for women,
we have 38.3% prefer thinking, but 61.7% prefer feeling.
So according to these statistics,
women are much more likely to prefer feeling.
Whereas when it comes to men, 67.6% of them prefer thinking,
whereas 32.4% prefer feeling.
You could look at this as being stereotypical.
You could look at this as being maybe culturally,
something that affects people,
because men are expected to be much more logical.
Women are supposed to be more touchy feely.
I'm not here to tell you why these results are this way.
I'm just here to tell you the numbers, okay?
But, so then we move on to the last letter,
judging versus perceiving,
the J types, being a bit more organized,
P types being a bit more spontaneous.
The women are a bit more likely to be J types,
54.5% are judging, 45.5% are perceiving.
Whereas men are much closer to half
and half judging and perceiving.
Okay, in the next part of the video,
we're going to look at personality types
for men from the most common to the least common.
Stay tuned.
Okay, let's just jump into this.
The most common type for men is the ISTJ, which is also the
most common type overall for the general population,
with 20.9%.
So according to these statistics,
that would seem to indicate that one in five men are ISTJs.
That is what 20% is, one in five.
The number two, three,
and four most common types for men are the ISTP
at number two, ESTJ at number three,
and ESTP at number four.
So if I'm doing my math correctly here,
these four most common types for men
are the four ST types.
And it accounts for 50% of all men, statistically.
The five through eight slots go to the ISFJ,
ENFP, INTP, and ISFP.
Those four types put together combined are only like 1% more
than just the ISTJs percentage for men.
One interesting thing is we do have the ENFP popping up
once more as the most common intuitive type,
which is the most common intuitive type
for the general population.
Okay, in the nine through 12 spot,
we have INFP, ESFP, ENTP, and INTJ.
So then we come to the four rarest types for men.
Everyone's favorite, the rarest.
We have ESFJ, ENTJ, we have INFJ at 1.5% of men,
and then the rarest type for men
according to these statistics from the 2018 NBTI manual
supplement, ENFJs, 1.4% of men.
Now you might ask, Frank, how accurate are these statistics?
I don't know.
Now in the next segment,
we're going to do the same thing, but for women,
what are the most common personality types
for women to the least common.
Stay tuned.
All right, so for women,
the most common type is ISFJ with 14.9% of women.
And at number two is the ISTJ at 14.5%.
So we have 30% of women are either ISFJ or ISTJ,
which the SJ types are introverted sensors.
They're very orderly.
They're very organizational.
At number three for women, might
be surprising, is the ENFP at 9.2%.
I say it's surprising because, you know,
you wouldn't expect to see an intuitive type that far off
the list at the number three spot.
But as we saw earlier,
even the women do overall tend to prefer sensing.
They do prefer intuition more
than men do.
The number four spot,
we have the ESFJ at 8.6%.
At the five through eight spots,
we have INFP, ISFP, ISTP, and ESFP.
In the nine through 12 spots, we have ESTJ,
INFJ with 4.2%, INTP, and ENFJ.
Then we come to the four rarest types for women.
We have the ESTP at 3%, I said that twice.
Let's start that over.
The INTJ at number 14 at 2.2%.
The ENTP at number 15,
at 1.8%, and the rarest type for women, the ENTJ at 1.4%.
Of course,
it's very interesting to look
at just what we've seen so far
to see the different rankings, to hear the different
percentages, but that doesn't tell you the whole story.
What we need to look at now
is each personality type one by one
and see, what is the ratio of men versus women
for each type?
If you had a room full of people who were INTJs,
for example,
what percentage could you expect of those to be male?
What percentage could you expect to be female?
We're going to go in the next segment
from the type that is most predominantly men
to the type that is most predominantly women.
There are some surprises all along the way,
stay tuned to find out.
We're going to start off with the ESTP.
This is the most male dominated personality type, with
approximately 70% of ESTPs being men.
The next most male dominated personality type
is the ENTP was 69.6% being men.
Next up are ISTPs, 67.6% of ISTPs are men.
And next is ESTJ, 65% of people who consider themselves to
be ESTJ are men.
Next, we have the INTJ, 64% of IMTJs are men.
And then the ENTJ, 61% of ENTJs,
statistically, are going to be men.
Next is the INTP 59.2% are men,
and the ISTJ with 58.5% as men.
If you were paying attention,
that's all the T types.
All the men dominated ones are T types, thinking types.
And I mean, I guess we should have expected that,
given that huge difference at the beginning that we looked
at between feeling types and thinking types
when it comes to men and women.
Next, we come to the ESFP,
which is the closest we come to a 50/50 split.
We have 55.8% of ESFPs are women.
Next is the ISFP with 60.8% being women.
Next we have 62.9% of ENFPs are women.
And next is the INFP with 63.9% being women.
The next one is a pretty big jump up, the ENFJ, 70% female.
And it's interesting because we still
have three more types to go.
And the differential between men
and women only gets greater with these last three.
And you'll remember that the most male dominated type
was the ESTP with 70% of men.
So these last three types are even more than 70% female.
We have the ESFJ 70.9% women.
Then the ISFJ, 72.2% women,
which is interesting because the ISFJ
was the number five type for men.
Number five most common,
and still you have that big of a split.
Now we come to the type that is most dominated by women.
The INFJ with 73.4% being women.
So we have almost 3/4 of INFJs are female.
