The most rare Personality Types are INFJ, followed by ENTJ and INTJ.
If your Type is rare, there are two ways to look at this:
1) Your Type is relatively rare and therefore your natural talents should be in great demand.
2) There are not many of you out there, so it may be hard to find people you can truly relate to.
If your Type is near the top of the chart:
1) There are a lot of people like you out there in the world. It should be easier to find people who think and behave the way you do.
2) You might find it easier to fit in than an INTJ, or INFJ would.
3) Diversity is healthy. Reach out and meet some of the more rare Types.
