Psychological MBTI analysis of 1200 reddit users
The MBTI data are taken from 1200 responses to the reddit MBTI survey (link below), here is an info-graphic on how to read the graphs.
Red is negative correlation, blue is positive. Size of the square determines the strength of the correlation (every correlation I have used in the graphs is statistically significant with p < 0.05). You can see the numeric value itself in the lower part of the matrix.
Another negative correlation you can see in this example is that people who feel superior do not feel emotions very much. Or a positive correlation between people who said they feel their breathing fully and who meditate regularly. Another interesting one is that people who reported breathing deeply also feel their emotions more. And people who feel their emotions correlate with having more friends.
