This chart shows the Dominant Cognitive Function as a percentage of the population.
This data was derived from data in the MBTI® Manual provided by CPP. It should be treated as an approximation rather than a precise, exact number.
What really stands out is the huge difference between Ni and Si. There are 7 times more people with Dominant Introverted Sensing (Si) in the population that those with Dominant Introverted Intuition (Ni).
This data may cause some people to think, "Now I know why I never fit it."
