- The highest mean Extrovert–Introvert scores recorded are for Denmark (E=8.4) and Malaysia (I=0.5).
- There are also significant differences on the P–C scale where the highest mean C scores are for the Scandinavian countries of Denmark (C=2.6), Sweden (C=1.9) and Finland (C=1.5), compared with more Practical scores from Hong Kong (P=4.1) and Ireland (4.0).
- On the A–B scale the mean scores ranged from Germany (A=6.1) to Nigeria (A=15.9) and Mexico (A=14.4), a significant difference of 9.8 points.
