Austin: ENFP
WilCo: ISTJ
San Marcos: ESTP
Abilene: ENFJ
El Paso: ISFP
Dallas: ENTJ

Changing SC to ENTJ, too of "take charge" historically.

I see NY as more ESTJ
NC: ENFJ
PA: INFP
FL: ESFP
CA: ENFP
WA: INTP
MI: ISTP
OH: ISTJ
IA: ISFJ
MD: INFJ

It'd be cool to do individual cities.
INTJ here.

Interesting. It appears that many people are rating the northern tier and rural states as having a more introverted population overall. I agree on that point.

[ESFPlover]

I don't see how ESFP's would live in Louisiana, Tennessee. Please explain why? That doesn't make sense to me for some reason.

[ESFPlover]

I can see that ESFP's would live in FL, I met one from there.

I'm an INFP too and I don't feel like this is the country for me. I don't think Oregon and Washington really fit INFP anymore, they've become way too corporate and yuppie. I feel like I'd do better somewhere like Minnesota or Wisconsin.

Louisiana is definitely performer.

I'm from Illinois, and IMO my state is ENTP. Lots of big ideas but terrible at following through on them, good at scamming and deceiving its residents, capable of being both playfully warm and violently cold, and less organized than a junkyard.

I'm an INTP, though.
