"MBTI is the Most Important Personality Assessment in the World--for the Most Important People in Your Life"

TYPES AND PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS

One of the most interesting and informing aspects of MBTI is that each of the sixteen types tends to be drawn toward specific industries, jobs, and vocations.  This has been verified through numerous studies.

When we administer MBTI to a group of accountants, we invariable find that a disproportionate number are ISTJs without them being aware of their like type.  In a litigation firm, there are always a large number of ENTPs.  Hard sciences are populated with many INTJs.   Look at each of the types and see if you verify this from your own experience.
