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