Jess Day Descriptive Personality Statistics
Jess Day is a character from New Girl.
This page summarizes crowd sourced ratings of their personality collected from users of the Statistical "Which Character" Personality Quiz. This website has recruited more than 3 million volunteers to rate characters on descriptive adjectives and other properties, which can be aggregated to create profiles that users can be matched to as part of a personality test. For more information about how the ratings were collected and how they are used, see the documentation.
Aggregated ratings for 500 descriptions
The table shows the average rating the character received for each descriptive item on a 1 to 100 scale and what that character's rank for the description is among all 2,000 characters in the database. It also shows the standard deviation of the ratings and how many different individuals submitted a rating for that description.
The lowest rating for any description in the table is 50.0 despite a 1 to 100 scale being used. This is because descriptions that had values lower than the midpoint were reversed. For example, a score of 1/100 for "hot (not cold)" is equivalent to a score of 100/100 for "cold (not hot)". This was done so that all the traits that are most distinctive for a character are at the top of the table.
Similar characters
The similarity between two characters can be calculated by taking the correlation between the lists of their traits. This produces a value from +1 to -1. With +1 implying that every trait one character is high on the other one is high on too, to an equal degree. And, -1 implying that if a character is high on specific trait, the other one is low on it. The 10 most and least similar characters to Jess Day based on their crowd-sourced profiles are listed below with the correlation in parenthesis.

Personality types
Users who took the quiz were asked to self-identify their Myers-Briggs and Enneagram types. We can look at the average match scores of these different groups of users with Jess Day. This shows what personality types people who describe themselves in ways similar to the way Jess Day is described identify as.
This is the right way to think about "personality types". Myers-Briggs and Enneagram types are not "real". To the extent that they claim to be the explanation of individual differences, they are pseudoscience. "Being an INTJ" is not a valid scientific idea (science being the act of describing observations in terms of their causes). But "INTJ" can totally be an internet meme, one that people may or may not identify with.
