Most and least common individual preferences

Most common	Least common

Important note about this result: Looking at the sum of individual preferences in the table just above, it appears that the most common type is INFj and that the least common is ESTp. However, it's been already established in the Distribution by "Type" results that it is actually INFp which is most common, and ISTp is the least common type. This little example shows that trying to identify the whole type by identifying the individual preferences does not in any way mean that you would find the whole type. Every psychometric tool working on individual preferences principal will have poor reliability because of this fact.
