Why INTJ leads
INTJs are strategic, private, and allergic to doing anything without a reason. INTPs (curious, skeptical, and more interested in the idea than the outcome) and INFPs (idealistic, inward, and guided by personal values over convention) round out the top three. At the other end, ESTPs are bold, impulsive, and biologically incapable of watching from the sidelines.
