Science
INTJs were the most highly represented type among a group of 705 Cal Tech science students. 261
There were nearly four times as many INTJs as would be expected. This is strong confirmation for
the idea that INTJs are one of the main types among scientists.

Liberal Arts
Hang out around scientists long enough, and sooner or later you'll hear someone poke fun at the
poor liberal arts majors. It was a surprise when I found that INTJs are among the top four types
most likely to take this major. 262 Granted, the real prize goes to the NFs, but it seems that INTs have
a pretty strong showing. Out of 3,676 male liberal arts students, 267 (7.3%) were INTJs; probably
the fact that the sample was all male inflated the percentage of INTJs in this case.
