I just had an idea, I've noticed every country has a different feel, like in personality, If I were to generalize, Sweden where I live is definitely INFP, USA feels ESFP or ENFP, Canada? ENFJ? England?

But mainly wich countries feel INFP

..Yeah, let me hear your speculations.

 

[Theodore]

Iceland is surely the INFP homeland.

 

[Hammerhand]

Sweden infplike? Whate.. NO >.<

Agree on Iceland though

Early 19th Century United States of America.

I hear that in some countries, that job meetings don't mind if you are late. Some countries are more introverted than others... So it is interesting to see which country has a more 'INFP' atmosphere to it.

USA tends to cater to ESTJ/ESTP and ESFJ/ESFP types.

I hear Japan loves introverted types.

 

[Fleetfoot]

Japan seems very ISTJ, from what I've read. I'm going there in the summer so I'll find out maybe.

I felt like Belgium or Holland were INFP, probably more so Holland.

 

[chasingdreams]

Hmmm, I think it really depends on the regions you visit in Canada. :S But, I think it is most catered towards ESFJ or ESTJ.

INFP= Holland, in my opinion and perhaps Australia or NZ.

 

[ForsakenMe]

I felt like Belgium or Holland were INFP, probably more so Holland.

Am I the only INFP who loves the sight of old world charm/natural beauty places? I really love the sights of countrysides, forests, beaches... Just places that aren't heavily into the whole civilization look like New York or Tokyo.

I'd say Spain and Italy are ENFP. They're very extroverted, but overall not bad places to live as an INFP.

...unless of course you want something done quickly and efficiently :wink:

To me the U.S. always felt very ESTJ in the business world and pretty ESFx in the social world. I'd consider Japan ISxJ in terms of overall culture. Depends on what part of history you're looking at, though.

 

[Sily]

Switzerland.

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

Just wonder where people are basing their answers on...how exactly do you guys think Iceland and Scandinavian countries are INFP? (They do not seem like an appealing place for me to live)

 

[lost_in_a_book]

I'm biased because I grew up in London and feel at home there, but I find the UK a very INFP place, especially (and sometimes unfortunately) in the social obligation to conceal deep feelings. I do that pretty naturally, so it isn't difficult to appear calm cool and collected. Keep Calm and Carry On.

 

[Rather Unusual]

The UK is NOT INFP. Absolutely no fucking way. The streets are crawling with ESTP chavs and the country is run by ISTJs and traditionalists.

I lived in Manchester for about a year when I was 17. It seemed like a rough place. Didn't get a chance to see other parts of the country but I went to Wales and it's one of my favorite places ever. Every country has rough and violet people though.

Not sure if Australia is INFP. For the most part everyone is really nice and friendly. You can strike up a conversation with pretty much anyone. The other night in Sydney some guy from Brisbane asked me and my brother if we were going to have a drink and we hung out till 5 AM. But as I said, not sure how INFP it is here but people are usually nice.

I would guess Holland is nice for INFPs.

 

[flaring]

There's a book that breakdowns countries by MBTI type called "where in the world I belong". You can find free preview on google books. According to it Holland is ESTJ.

 

[Aurum]

In the reviews of the book that @flaring mentioned, I found this...

The United States is, of course, ESTJ. Loud, strong-willed, outgoing, with pronounced E and T preferences. England is also ESTJ, though S and J are more pronounced than E and T. Austria, Slovenia, Hungary & Croatia share the ESTJ preference.

Massey posits that China overall is ISFP, though Beijing is ESTP. Interesting, as I know many Chinese folks living in the US and there's not a P in the crowd,

Massey's Italy is ENFP -- very E, very P. I'll agree with that assessment. Ireland, Spain, Denmark, Bulgaria, Belize, Sudan, Saudia Arabia . . . also ENFP. Russia, India, and a number of -stans are also listed as ENFP.

ENFJ countries include Greenland and Ghana. There must be something inherently ENFJ about the French speakers, as French-speaking Quebec, Canadians and French-speaking Belgians are ENFJ; whereas English-speaking Canadians are ESFJ and Dutch-speaking Belgians are apparently ISFP.

In addition to Canada, other ESFJ countries include Costa Rica, Ukraine, Namimbia, Uganda, Taiwan, and South Korea. Seemingly strange bedfellows -- you'll have to read the book to see what these countries have in common.

INFP countries include Nepal and Burma. ENTJ countries -- the only two are France and Jordan, which don't strike me as having much else in common.

Central and South America & the Caribbean are well-represented on the list of ESFP countries. Mexico, Guatemala, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Portugal and Romania are typed as ESFP. As are Greece, Malta, Turkey, Tibet, Thailand and East Timor. And who would have thought that Australia and Bangladesh share the same personality type? Yep, both are ESFP.

 

[flaring]

Yes, that's select countries from a book (I excluded small countries and most of Africa)

I don't agree on the entire list though.

ESTJ - USA, Netherlands, UK (England), Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia
ENTJ - France
ISTJ - Germany, Switzerland, Estonia
ISFJ - Japan, Norway, Sweden, Iran, Latvia
ENFJ - Canada (Quebec), Greenland, Belgium (French), Ghana
ESFJ - Canada (English), Costa Rica, Ukraine, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea
ISFP - China, Slovakia, Cambodia
ENFP - Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Russia, Bulgaria, India, Honduras, Uruguay, Brazil, Ecuador
ISFP - Belgium (Dutch)
ENTP - Lithuania, Serbia, Afghanistan, Nigeria (Northern)
ESFP - Australia, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, South Africa, Philippines, Tibet, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Jamaica, Chile, Peru, Colombia
ESTP - Iceland, Argentina, Israel
ISTP - Poland
INFP - Nepal, Burma
INTP - none

Haha, my mother is italian and they seem more EXFX for sure! I've been always picked on for being more introverted in the bunch :S. My father being persian doesn't help either, as persians are pretty extroverted people too. Gah! I feel so alone.

Oh, are you azerbaijani?
