Why INTJ leads
INTJs are strategic, private, and allergic to doing anything without a reason. ENTPs (argumentative, novelty-seeking, and convinced the rules are suggestions) and ENFPs (enthusiastic, spontaneous, and unable to resist a new experience) round out the top three. At the other end, ISTJs are dutiful, methodical, and suspicious of anything that hasn’t been proven.
