It is not difficult to think that your way of being is what determines your political tendency to a greater or lesser extent, and this is what a study by Truity.com with more than 25,000 American participants who offered data on both the political aspect and their personality type within the MBTI 16 Personalities test.
While it is true that the sample taken is very specific (they are all voters in the US), it is also true that it would not be so crazy to extrapolate these results to most of the world, since, from my point of view, the trend in what personalities are more related to one side or the other is quite clear.

What political ideologies encompass the concepts of Right and Left?
First of all, we will explain what it means to speak of "left-wing parties" or "right-wing parties", so that there is no room for too many doubts and to be able to synthesize most of the political ideologies based on both society, economy, government powers, etc…
Right-wing political ideologies
According to Wikipedia, the right-wing parties The ones we will be referring to encompass very heterogeneous ideas: they include liberals, nationalists, opposition to immigration, Christian democracy and also some movements of anti-capitalist ideas, including traditionalism, national unionism or fascism. Some European right-wingers oppose contemporary capitalism, arguing that it encourages selfishness and materialism.
Left-wing political ideologies
While the leftist parties They are described as the sector of the political spectrum that defends social equality and egalitarianism, often in contrast to hierarchies between individuals.
The term "left" was first used to refer to republicanism, the revival of democracy during the French Revolution, and classical liberalism. It later began to be applied to socialism, communism, social democracy, and various forms of anarchism. It is also associated with the civil rights movements, the anti-war movement and environmentalism.
Relationship between Politics and the 16 MBTI Personalities
The Analytical profile (xNxx)
To begin with, if among the 16 MBTI Personalities your profile is Analytical (xNxx) you are four times more likely to vote for a left-wing party than for a right-wing party: 79% of the study participants with an analytical profile were left-wing, becoming This is one of the most important factors today to predict your political orientation, even higher than educational level and age, which are two of the greatest general factors when predicting this.
(This does NOT mean that if among the 16 MBTI Personalities you are a Practical person (xSxx) you are more likely to be a right-wing party voter.)
In addition to that, it is also very notable to know that 90% of all the people who voted for a minority party also shared this Analytical trait in their personality, which means that almost no person with a Practical profile allocated their vote to a party that would have little or no political representation.
Far Left Voter
The 65% of far-left voters are Emotional (xxFx), while the far-right voters are 50% Emotional and the other 50% Reflective. This is something to be expected since the ideological current maintained by the left empathizes much more with people and human values, as is typical of the Emotional profiles. Even so, I am surprised that the percentage regarding the right is so balanced.
Ordered Profile (xxxJ)
On the other hand, as expected, people with an Orderly profile (xxxJ) have a greater tendency to be right-wing voters, and the least tendency to vote for small parties (only 36%). This is because xxxJ personalities are much more likely to have a conservative profile with clear and well-defined objectives, as is the case with the right and large political parties.
Continuing with this order of things, we can also see that the two most common responses among right-wing voters when taking the MBTI 16 Personalities Test are self-discipline and the need to meet your responsibilities and expectations; two qualities also very typical of the xxxJ profiles, and especially of the xxTJ profiles.
Extraversion (Exxx)
Then, if we look at the first letter of the test, the one that measures a person's Extraversion, we can see that 60% of right-wing people are also Extroverted (Exxx), something notable considering that among left-wing voters there is no There is no difference between extroverts or introverts.
In relation to the previous data, it is also interesting to know that there are more than twice as many far-right voters carrying symbols about their political party as far-left voters carrying symbols about theirs. A small explanation for this phenomenon is the fact that right-wing voters are a little more extroverted (on average) than left-wing voters. Although even so, the difference between the percentage of people wearing symbols about their political party is quite large between both sides.
Conclusion – Relationship between politics and the MBTI 16 Personalities Test
In conclusion, analyzing these data we obtain that the most typical MBTI personality for a left-wing voter is INFP, while the most common among right-wing voters is ESTJ. Even so, being an extroverted or introverted person is not a trait with much influence either, so it could be said that, of the 16 Personalities, both INFP and ENFP are the most inclined towards progressiveness, while ESTJ and ISTJ personalities They are the most inclined towards conservatism.
