Where Should you Live Based on Myers Briggs
Here’s where you should live based on your Myers-Briggs personality type
I’m an INTJ, so Thought Catalog thinks I should live in Seattle, WA.
As the most highly educated and most literate city in the United States, Seattle offers an ideal fit for the cerebral INTJ. This type is open-minded yet guarded, curious yet hesitant and private yet deeply intrigued by all aspects of the human experience. Seattle itself offers similar contrasts: It is progressive yet secluded, wealthy yet humble and urban yet environmentally conscious. INTJs find themselves perfectly at home in this progressive city, as the science and technology fields attract NT types in hordes. This means they have an ideal peer group to share thoughts, ideas and theories with. Plus the gloomy weather tends to drive people indoors, so the INTJ is free to shut themselves away to work on their latest project.
I’m not sure what Thought Catalog is basing their idea that Seattle is the most educated and literate city on? USA Today ranked Minneapolis as the most literate city in the US last year (Seattle is #3 and Boston comes in at #9.) It looks like Seattle was #1 back in 2005, but it hasn’t held that slot in a couple of years. And when it comes to education? Last year’s rankings on WalletHub had Ann Arbor MI as the most educated city in the US (Seattle was #6 and Boston came in at #7). And if you were to take both of those two surveys together, it’s actually the Washington DC area that is the most educated (#2) and highly literate (#2) city in the US.
And besides, I’m not sure if rainy Seattle would be the best place for me with my SAD. And I’m not too jazzed about the idea of moving to the West Coast. However, maybe I can cheat and go to the city for ISTJ , Berlin Germany? Because the idea of moving to Germany does excite me.
ISTJs like clear-cut, upstanding efficiency - and Germany offers the ideal cultural fit. The historical city of Berlin holds a heavy focus on education, development and intellect, which appeals to the no-nonsense nature of the ISTJ. This type doesn’t hesitate when it comes to getting things done and they enjoy living in a city that holds the same value. Patriotic to the core but private with their personal lives, this type enjoys the structured, independent values of Germany.
